In brief
The immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil, sold as CellCept, lowers immune system activity so that a transplanted organ is less likely to be rejected.
Dialling down the immune response after organ transplantation
Mycophenolate mofetil, the active ingredient of CellCept, belongs to the immunosuppressants. As the CellCept consumer medicine information explains, it reduces the activity of the immune system so that the body is less likely to reject an organ it has received by transplant.
The figures below are for 500 mg only. This listing gives no manufacturer for the product dispatched, so when it reaches you, look over the label and have a pharmacist or your prescriber confirm it is what was prescribed.
Comparing CellCept 500 mg packs of 20 and 30 units per unit

A lower price per unit means a larger upfront payment. Choose only the quantity and strength appropriate to your prescription, and check the expiry date. Prices can change, so confirm the current pack price before ordering.
Which CellCept presentations Australian patients may come across
In Australia, CellCept is made available as 250 mg capsules, 500 mg tablets, an oral suspension containing 200 mg/mL, and 500 mg vials given intravenously. These details describe the CellCept brand as covered by its leaflet, not the specific product on this page. The leaflet asks that capsules and tablets be swallowed whole, without chewing them or opening them.
CellCept exclusions: allergy, pregnancy, breastfeeding and inadequate contraception
The CMI rules out CellCept for anyone allergic to mycophenolate mofetil or to mycophenolic acid. Pregnant women must not take it, as it can cause miscarriage or birth defects, and the same applies to anyone breastfeeding. Women who could conceive are excluded unless they rely on two reliable forms of contraception.
Sunscreen, live vaccines and blood tests during CellCept treatment
CellCept carries a higher risk of infections and of skin cancer, and the leaflet recommends covering up with protective clothing and applying sunscreen. Discuss the possible increase in cancer risk with your doctor. Live vaccines should be avoided, and blood tests are needed at regular intervals. CellCept interacts with many other medicines, so let every doctor treating you know you take it before anything new is started.
Diarrhoea, acne and the warning signs that need a doctor straight away
The leaflet counts loose bowel motions (diarrhoea), feeling sick or vomiting, headache, acne and infections of the urinary tract among its common side effects. Seek medical help without delay if you notice signs of infection, bleeding or bruising with no obvious cause, symptoms of anaemia, enlarged lymph glands or an allergic reaction.
