778275 tn?1326913623 I can sort of answer your first question. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or Cellcept has been extensively researched for its use in myasthenia gravis. Also, it carries a FDA black box warning that it may increase your chances of infection, lymphoma and congenital malformations (for pregnant women). Also, its optimal dose is yet undecided. Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) is the usual first line treatment for MG.
Avatar m tn The standard therapy options include intravenous immunoglobulin and plasmapharesis, corticosteroids, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, etanercept, mycophenolate mofetil, interferon alpha 2a and tacrolimus. Current ones are interferon beta 1a, rituximab, and high dose cyclophosphamide. Your neurologist needs to apprise you of the long-term side effects since prolonged therapy are required. Botox shots are not known to be used in therapy.
Avatar f tn I am not on Cellcept which is Mycophenolate Mofetil 1g morning and 1g night. This is a fantastic immunposuppressant. Basically what I am telling you is that at any time your body cannot any longer tolerate one drug, there is always another waiting. The one I am on now is more 'pure' in other words there are less chemicals in in to effect the liver. It might be worth a mention if you are uncertain but many people are able to tolerate your medication for many years.
Avatar n tn Also, I have IgA nephropathy and have been on low dose immunosuppressant (mycophenolate mofetil 250 mg twice daily) for the past 1.5 years. 4 days ago, I noticed a little bump in on my labia minora. and I thought maybe it was a boil and tried to break it. It is now pus filled and looks like a zit. its just the one. I have no tingling or itching tho there is some pain now after i messed abt with it which is kinda like the pain i feel with zits anywhere.
4848471 tn?1372238752 I was JC+ before I even started Tysabri and am about one and a half years into it now, still taking it..............I talked to the Tysabri regional rep about it and they still feel our chances of PML are very low.
Avatar n tn I am on 750 urso three times a day now.. I am 52. I am now on Cellcept (mycophenolate Mofetil) 1g twice daily. This is because the other meds like Azathioprine and Mercaptopurine disagreed with me intensely and I turned a beautiful shade of butterscotch and was oh so ill. This new drug has less chemicals in and suits me very well, in fact I walked 6 miles in Jordan as opposed to not even being able to get out of bed.
Avatar m tn I am being successfully treated for a rare autoimmune condition with 15 mg prednisone and 1 gr mycophenolate daily. Although mycophenolate use involves a risk of opportunistic HSV infections, I was not warned about this. I recently had sex WITH A CONDOM with a partner whose status for HSV infection is unknown. Within about a day, I had developed numerous lesions. These spread rapidly and my doctor said they had an appearance consistent with HSV.
Avatar m tn Hi, glad you have been diagnosed, this can often get misses as indeed mine was for some time. I have PBC aswell which was what I was diagnosed with first. I agree that you should always check on other suppliments. I only take cod liver oil tablets as a supplement with my meds. Just a thought though, if you ever feel unwell on your meds, please do not be afraid to challenge your doc. I took mine as instructed and became so ill.
461838 tn?1255790216 Tacrolimus-based immunosuppression is utilized in 70 centers (86.42%). Triple therapy using tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and steroids is the most common regimen (41%). Six programs (7.4%) use steroid-free protocols. In nine centers (11%) steroids are discontinued within a week, 56% within 3 months, and 98% within the first year. At 75% of centers, mild rejection is treated by increasing baseline immunosuppression.
Avatar f tn t drink alcohol. Whether your cirrhosis was caused by chronic alcohol use or another disease, avoid alcohol. Drinking alcohol may cause further liver damage. Eat a low-sodium diet. Excess salt can cause your body to retain fluids, worsening swelling in your abdomen and legs. Use herbs for seasoning your food, rather than salt. Choose prepared foods that are low in sodium. Eat a healthy diet. People with cirrhosis can experience malnutrition.

Avatar f tn My pt. age 56 yrs. S/P liver transplantation last 6 mos. He on tracolimus 2 mg/d. mofetil 500 mg./d. Now, his LFT AST47 ALT51 Alk.phos.382 GGT67 ANA neg. anti smooth m. neg.. I want to know causes of hepatitis in him, if is not graft rejection?
Avatar f tn Also, I am on Micophenalate Mofetil (Cellcet). this is an immunosuppressant. Ask your consultant about this. I am now on 1 g twice per day. 1 morning and 1 night. I was tried on steroids, azathioprine, and Mercaptopurine but got steadily worse. This Micophenolate is brilliant. i feel really well and the acne is no more!!!!!! It is brilliant and there is a marked improvement in my well being aswell.
1054753 tn?1339968724 i do not think that the loose bowel movements are directly related to the transplant itself. they could be from the medications such as mycophenolate or ursodiol. sometimes certain infections can also contribute. If the liver tests are OK, then the loose bowel movements are not from the liver.
Avatar m tn additional agents such as mycophenolate (cellcept) may be necessary or in cases of severe rejection a medication such as thymoglobulin may be needed.
Avatar m tn My doc is trying to reduce the dose. 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?
560748 tn?1226864517 I am on 1 g Mycophenalate Mofetil twice daily, 750g Ursodeoxycholic Acid three times daily and Ezetimbe 10g daily for cholesterol. I feel clinically fit and weigh 9 st 3 lb. The disease is progressing but I wonder if there is any timescale on this as regards prognosis and if I am able to have a transplant with having both PBC and Overlap. I am a 51 year old female. I have to have an MRI or CT scan soon as I have a lot of nodules in the liver they need to check up on.
1323747 tn?1364806882 sections. At least early in the condition trials of immunoglobulin , prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, and plasmapheresis found some success in some patients. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1154266-overview For sure correct diagnoses is crucial for treatment. That is where I am right now trying to define my condition as exactly as possible. I realized too that finding out what deficiencies are present and correcting them goes a long ways. Thanks for your help with this.
1511858 tn?1290477459 hi, my son was diagnosed last may, he is on pred, immunoglobulin and mycophenolate mofetil (cellcept). due to the prednisolone he has cateracts that are progressing so fast he has changed glasses every 3 mths. he gained approx 6stone in weight and now has myopathy but he wouldnt be here without it. yes terrible side effects but what is the alternative! they are still trying to wean him but he relapses. the cateracts wont heal, the weight will go though and the myopathy will too.
Avatar f tn Hi all My wife has SLE which about 8 months ago began to come undercontrol with mycophenolate.
Avatar f tn And immune suppresant mycophenolate for 6 months. I am grateful for your thoughts. Apologies in delay replying I have been unwell.
Avatar m tn however, there is no documented increased cancer risk specifically with the use of long-term mycophenolate use. the less immunosuppression one takes over time, the better however.
422425 tn?1307992990 Billydude and cudagirl: I did some research, and "grade" does play into diagnostics of T-cells and auto-immune related conditions. It appears from what I read to be used most often with cancers and HIV but can be used with any auto-immune condition. What I could not find was a chart of what was a bad or good level. Without that kind of comparison, it's like not knowing anything at all. Billydude: You said that you take Cellcept/Mycophenolate for Sjogren’s?
Avatar n tn We converted 20 patients from azathioprine to enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) and continued the remaining 15 patients on azathioprine. Exploratory mRNA expression profiling, performed on five randomly selected EC-MPS patients, revealed significant upregulation of neutral endopeptidase (NEP), which is an enzyme that degrades angiotensin II.
Avatar f tn Corticosteroids ≥20mg (0,5mg/kg) prednisolone (or equivalent per day for more than 4 weeks Corticosteroid dose of ≥5mg prednisolone (or equivalent) per day for more than four weeks plus at least one other immunosuppressive medication (e.g. azathioprine, mycophenolate, ciclosporin) or rituximab within the last 12 months.
Avatar f tn Ive not tried the red one, but the white non-alcohol wine tasted oddly of white grape juice and pop rocks lol.
