Avatar m tn 5mg and tenofovir 300mg) and prograf, cellcept wysolone etc. Two months back entacavir was withdrawn and I am now treated with tenofovir, prograf(6mg), cellcept(1000mg) and Magnesium suppliment. Almost at the same time( 2months back) I suffered from maleria also. Since then SGOT and SGPT are gradually rising from normal level, and they are now 69 and 46 level( normal range is 4) and rose to 3.2 almost one month back but it goes down to 2.3 now. What could be reason?
Avatar f tn Anyone on cellcept having back pain? I've been having back pain for a couple of weeks now, wake up earlier and earlier in the morning with my back aching and when I move it I get these stabbing pains. It all goes away when I get up, and I've managed to sleep a bit in the morning in a half-seated position, so it's really related to lying down. I just read someplace that cellcept can cause back pain, but I haven't been able to find any info on what kind of pain. Could this be it?
Avatar f tn When that happens, the doctor increases PanGraf / Cellcept dosage and a particular steroid (wysolone). After that the enzymes go back to normal - except GGT which goes down but still remains well above normal (say, falls from 1800 to 300).
Avatar n tn I'm a patient with autoimmune hepatitis type II, and my doctor has just perscribed cellcept in an attempt to reduce or stop use of prednizone. It is really important to me to try and have a child, but I'm afraid if I start cellcept that I shouldn't get pregnant. I know cellcept is a class D drug, and discussed my concern with my doctor.
Avatar n tn I had a breakthrough with Avonex so my dr. recommended adding cellcept to the avonex shots. If so can you tell me how you have done with cellcept. Thanks!!!!
Avatar f tn prednisone, IvIG, plasmapheresis, with no real help. My neurologist now suggests therapy with cytoxan or cellcept. He is "saving" the stem cell/bone marrow transplant as a last resort. I have read all of the info on both drugs and the risk/benefit for each. Because this disease robbed me of my life, I am leaning towards cytoxan therapy because it seems to be more aggressive than the cellcept (which is used mainly for transplant rejection).
Avatar f tn The doctor says he proposes to take my mother off CellCept altogether at some point in time and only PanGraaf will be needed for the whole life - in the meantime the doctor may prescribe CellCept in on / off basis.
Avatar f tn that affected my legs so my Dr. just prescribed Cellcept. I filled the prescription yesterday and was scared to death after reading the literature on it. What is PPMS? I will be interested in seeing if anyone has used this medication too. Sunnyb.

Avatar m tn I have a very high IgE Level of 7920. I suffer from severe allergic reactions, and am unable to go outside. I was a patient at National Jewish in September of 2008. They didn't seem to concerned about the very high IgE. I am looking for other individuals who have these high test results. If you have any advice on treatments that have helped you, or just to share thoughts.
Avatar m tn Based on ALT/AST continuing to rise to the 300/400 level, and not rejection but hcv, what is the general action taken. Do you lower the prograf or cellcept and monitor closely? What is your experience in this scenario as far as the outcome?
Avatar f tn Okay hears the deal I was put on prednison when I was 17yrs old along with imuran, now i know the effects of prednison obviouly, it being a steroid there usually are some weight gain and moon face etc as common side effects. Now I'm 19yrs old and they have me on cellcept. I have always been extremely active even to due to my fatigue but I cannot loose a pound, I will work out 24-7 and change my diets often to see if anything changes and...nothing.
Avatar n tn when you say adding some cellcept might be a good idea,does that include trying to lower my prograf some?
Avatar m tn Since I was on tacrolimus only(as Mycophenolate causes TLC to go down in two occasion), sirolimus 1mg is started along with reduced tacrolimus(2mg BD, Tac level ~4.5). But the creatinine is still high(1.8). It seems some side effect of Sirolimus is also coming as the TLC is 3400 and platelet is 80,000. What do you suggest to bring creatinine under control? What is the way to determine the exact required dose of tacrolimus?

I am afraid.Also of the side effects of cellcept and having massive pain returned. But which side effects are going to be worse? Preds or cellcept. I will research and let you know,.

Avatar f tn it is not unusual for the platelets to decrease after liver transplantation--meds such as bactrim, cellcept and others can contribute.
Avatar m tn Should the transplant team/doctor monitor liver transplant patients taking cellcept post liver transplant over time? Is there a significant threat of cellcept causing lymphoma?
Avatar f tn s Hospital yesterday and was told by the doctor that I have Primary Progressive MS. She gave me 3 prescriptions - one for Cellcept to slow the progress, one for PT and the third for a scooter. That last one got me teary. I thought I was years away from that but now see that it is for the best. It will give me what I need to go out more. Also had to get the H1N1 vaccine and the pneumonia vaccine because she said Cellcept suppresses the immune system. Not sure there's much more to say.
645800 tn?1466860955 Hi Dennis, Welcome back. Has spring sprung in TN yet? The deer here are very active and creating excitement in the area. I had to reread your message - it appears you are saying that the VA doctors are listening to you ? Huh? This is very good news. The 1.5T closed MRI should give them a pretty good look at what is going on if it was done to the MS protocol. Ufrustrated2 had his breakthrough with the VA recently, too.
