Common Questions and Answers about Difference between cellcept and myfortic

cellcept

Avatar n tn Your immunosuppressive agents There are also drug interactions between Cyclosporine A (CsA) and INCIVEK when administered. So Cyclosporine must be reduced to 1/10 of its current dosage. Also a medicine like cellcept could be an issue too. Your treating doctor will tell you all this. Talk to you hepatologist and find out what the plan is for you treating your recurrent hepatitis C. Good luck. Glad to hear you are 7 months post and on the road to recovery post transplant.

Avatar n tn I am considering just staying on Prednizone for a little while longer and getting pregnant, and then going on cellcept. I have been on cellcept one week tomorrow, and think it would not be too late to discontinue (after talking to my doctor again) since I am also still on 40mg of prednizone every day. Do you have any opinions about cellcept and pregnancy?

Avatar n tn i think the Dr wants to start, cellcept and eliminate diazapam nd steroids....after having such relief finally,after so long..

Avatar f tn 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!

645800 tn?1466860955 Because of the dual DX the Vanderbilt Neuro prescribed the CellCept while the VA deals with filling the RX and any other issues that come up ( brace for foot, Gabapentin for tremors, etc. ). Since the Vanderbilt Neuro is fee-based I can only see him when the VA approves visits ( usually 6-7 months in between visits ) and he also has no privileges at the VA. As such I can't go to the Vanderbilt Neuro if I am having some kind of problem.
Avatar n tn I take Cellcept and only Cellcept. I've been on it now for over a month. My MS doctor prescribed it for my PPMS since there's really no treatment for PPMS. I haven't had any side effects from it. When I first started on it, I did get some headaches but nothing I couldn't handle. In my case, I take it to hopefully slow down the progression of my particular form of this disease. Let me know if I can answer any questions.
Avatar f tn Till two weeks back she was on PanGraaf 4mg, Wysolone (steroid) 15mg and CellCept 1000 mg a day. At that time (i.e. two weeks back) her blood result showed that her TLC has slipped to below normal (which is minimum 4) and was showing as 2.8. Her Haemoglobin seems to have settled around 11.2. All other results including Blood, LFT, Creatine etc show normal. Doctor reduced her CellCept to 500 mg (from 1000mg) and increased PanGraaf to 5 mg (from 4mg) and Wysolone (steroid) to 12.5mg (from 15 mg).
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.
778275 tn?1326913623 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,.

Avatar m tn I am taking Tacrolimus 3mg and Myfortic 360mg twice a day, FK level is around 5. Am I going to take these two immunosuppressants (probably same dosages) for life or might be reducing the dosage ?
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with CIDP, and have gone through the "normal" protocol.. 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.
645800 tn?1466860955 Hi Dennis- Orcelizumab is very similar to Rituxan (rituximab). Both are "CD20" antagonists. CD20 is a protien on the surface of B-cells. B-cells, like T-cells are thought to be demyelination demons. Rituximab and ocrelizumab wipe out the CD 20 protien. B-cells need th CD20 to survive. Absent the CD20 B-cells are depleted and can't do anymore demyelination damage. Ocrelizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody and rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody.
Avatar n tn I am on 5 mg of prednisone and cellcept as well. Can I ask why you stopped taking the cellcept? My Dr is trying to lower me off of the prednisone all together and just stay on the cellcept. I was on 10 mg of pred 4 weeks ago, down to 7.5 mg 2 weeks ago and just got reduced to 5 mg. My numbers are staying in great shape, but I am still holding steady on the cellcept. I have been battling AIH for a year and a half. Nothing has worked w/the prednisone accept for cellcept.
Avatar f tn Importantly, differences between subtype 1a and 1b (by far the most frequently encountered genotype 1 subtypes in clinical practice) include different efficacies of antiviral drugs and different resistance profiles to such drugs. Indeed, several HCV inhibitors appear to have selective activity against different HCV genotype 1 subtypes, both in vitro and in vivo....

Avatar n tn One medication may have been developed first and others later that are somewhat similar chemically and in the same chemical family but they may be completely different medications. I take Methocarb and that is prescribed for me to control dystonic spasms. It is an anti spasmodic. Meprobamate is an anti anxiety medication. Any of these medications can be prescribed for other purposes as determined by a doctor or psychiatrist or other treating professional.
