cellcept to myfortic conversion

I was switched to cyclosporine and Myfortic. When the Incivek was started my cyclosporine was dropped to 25 mg once per day due to their interaction. Due to my previous non-response and to the multiple variations of the HCV I carry my odds were considered to be about 30%, maybe 40% at best. At the end of week 4 the HCV RNA was not detectable. The only additional side effect is that the anemia came quicker this time. I will start Procrit injections probably sometime this week.

The day I posted this problem, I visited my doctor. He prescribed to drop cellcept and to start wysolone 10mg daily. The test on 21st Nov shows TLC increased to normal range (5500 from 2200). Other liver engymes are also back to the normal range. Right now I am on prograf as only immunosupressant.

rigorous control of any hypertension or diabetes and avoidance of NSAIDS such as ibuprofen, aleve is essential. Trying to minimize the prograf dose while taking myfortic should also be undertaken. Establishing care with a nephrologist early after transplant is also a good idea.

He will be stopping his CellCept (Mycophenolate (Myfortic)) before starting treatment as you suspected due to interactions with INCIVEK. He is almost 2 years post transplant now. I hope this helps. I will let you know how things go for him as I will be helping him make it through treatment. Cheers!

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.

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!!!!

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.

The reason they want you to have your flu shots is cellcept suppress the immune system and therfore your ability to fight infection. It is a good idea for everyone with a chronic condition to have their shots so I wouldn't stress too much about him telling you to get them. I was on cellcept for quite a long time when my dx was Sjogren's Syndrome. I never had any problems while taking it. I also took plaquenil.

After a upper respiratory infection last month I have been having someone more weaknesses and even a slight breathing problem at times, so he wants to put me on Cellcept. The problem is Cellcept can cause Lymphoma and other side effects and infection risk,. I want to get off Prednisone due to weight gain and creeping up hypertension and the Mestinin digestive problems are a real pain.

Sir, till previous 2 month my, creatine level was 0.8 to 0.9, but this month it increased to 1.23 and there was a protein trace in my urine routine. Sir/Mam, what should I do ? Though i met the doctor, but yet is it matter of concern for me..? Any step further you can suggest which i should follow ? In biopsy of my previous kidney biopsy it was found " FOCAL and SEGEMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS".

I know medicine as a whole works this way but is very frustrating to watch your son go through self induced side effects adding to initial problems. I just pray every day for a cure and until the day of a cure, i continue to enjoy every minute of my son. I would be happy to answer any questions in detail of the road thus far. Just feel free to write.

I had a massive flare up after being intolerant to Azathioprine and then to Mercaptopurine. Cellcept is a more pure medication and I have totally stabilized from having biliruben level of 87 down to 13. Alt count 300 down to 49. I would say give it a fair go and enjoy your life to the full. I do!

Hi, can you post the ranges from the sheet you have? (Before I forget, let me also just make a note here that erythropoietin [which controls production of RBCs] is produced in the kidneys.

my doctors have reduced my cellcept in half. 1000 mg 2x day to 500 mg 2x day. they said my symptoms are common and reducing the cellcept should help. any comment?

it had to be increased. Then we went to 500mg of cellcept and 2mg of prograf...it got better. Then we went to 500mg of cellcept and 4mg of prograf and this is where I have been since then. My surgeons told me that I have a very strong immune system and all systems are different. They even told me that most people take less. After the surgeons feel that you are stable they let you go. Now you must find someone to monitor your care and blood work. I get blood work done every 2 months now.

t at all hesitate to do what you think you need to. If you feel that you need to stop the cellcept then that is what you do. However the risks really do outway what could happen if your liver numbers continue to rise. But you know your body best. That is my feeling...Does your Dr test your blood every month? What are your current numbers? I am heading to 2.5 mg of prednisone tomorrow and as soon as I get low enough they are going to start trying to "ween" the cellcept as well.

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. I haven't really been able to loose the weight from the prednison, and I will gain then maintain that weight then then gain a little more and maintain.

adding the cellcept would be to try and lower the prograf concurrently

t look like there is much out there. My wife is starting treatment this week and it would be great to have her be able to reach out to someone who is familiar with this disease. Thanks! Rick D This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/294158'>Susac Syndrome</a>.

What does your TX teach or neph say about your elevated creatinine?? Neoral can cause nephrotoxicity. Ask your Dr or TX team about that. they might need to adjus the dose or change your meds around. Continue drinking plenty of water. Take care!

Hi, How a re you? According to one journal at Pubmed, it is possible for newly diagnosed cases at an earlier stage to have at least stabilization of progression of such condition. While this is a rare condition, you can check the article and the authors at this link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9845757 Hope this helps. Take care and best regards.

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).

i think the Dr wants to start, cellcept and eliminate diazapam nd steroids....after having such relief finally,after so long.. 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,. There are other drugs, but with heart and clogged arteries, i am not a candidate... Hang in there. Advil helps. Tons of it, Percocet if you can find a Dr who will write it,.....

t start out as that great of a day as my tires were low on air due to the cold weather and my compressor died as I was trying to top then off. So I had to make a special stop to get a new compressor. I also wasn't able to that the Trace up to Nashville as I had to make a stop at my bank. So NO deer spotting today. :( 2 months ago I was suppose to pick up a Glucose meter was I just got a diabetes DX.

I just started cellcept yesterday, so having fears and questions, but my sarcoid has progressed into the heart and liver so hopefully yes it will slow it down, but ask your sarcoid doc tons of questions cause after reading all the what ifs I'm rather worried about this drug
