CELLCEPT (Mycophenolate Mofetil) belongs to a class of medications called immunosuppressants that works by weakening your body’s defense system (immune system) to help your body accept the new organ not attack and reject the transplanted organ.
It is used in combination with other medications to prevent organ rejection after hepatic, renal, and cardiac transplants. Mycophenolate has been used to treat people with lupus (especially those with symptoms of kidney disease), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), vasculitis, inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease, inflammatory eye disease (such as uveitis (iritis) and scleritis), and some other kidney and skin disorders.
