In brief
CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) is an immunosuppressant taken by organ transplant recipients so that the immune system is less likely to reject the transplanted organ.
CellCept and transplant rejection
Organ rejection after a transplant is what CellCept is used to prevent. Mycophenolate mofetil, its active ingredient, lowers the activity of the immune system, as described in the CellCept consumer medicine information.
This listing shows mycophenolate mofetil 500 mg. It does not name the manufacturer of the product supplied, so check the label on the pack you receive and confirm with your prescriber or pharmacist that it matches your prescription.

Contraindications
CellCept must not be taken in pregnancy, because of the risk of miscarriage and birth defects, or while breastfeeding. Women who could become pregnant must use two reliable methods of contraception. An allergy to mycophenolate mofetil or mycophenolic acid also excludes it.
Monitoring and everyday precautions
- Infection risk goes up during treatment.
- Skin cancer risk rises too; protective clothing and sunscreen are recommended.
- The leaflet suggests discussing a possible increased risk of cancer with the doctor.
- Live vaccines should be avoided.
- Blood tests are needed at regular intervals.
- Because of many interactions, let all your doctors know about CellCept before any new medicine is started.
