What is CellCept?

CellCept is the brand name for the medicine mycophenolate mofetil. In Australia it is prescribed by transplant specialists and other doctors for approved autoimmune conditions. It comes as capsules, usually 250 mg and 500 mg, and is sometimes supplied as part of a contemporary treatment plan alongside other drugs such as ciclosporin and steroids. The aim is to lower the activity of the immune system to prevent organ rejection after a transplant or to control certain inflammatory diseases.

The active ingredient works by inhibiting an enzyme needed for the growth of immune cells. By doing so, it reduces the number of immune cells that can attack a transplanted organ or drive inflammation in conditions like lupus nephritis. Your doctor will decide the right dose and duration based on your condition, body weight and how you tolerate the medicine. In Australia, careful monitoring with regular blood tests is common to balance effectiveness with safety.

How to take CellCept

Take CellCept exactly as prescribed by your clinician. For many transplant patients the usual dosing is 1 g twice daily, but your dose may be adjusted. For autoimmune conditions such as lupus nephritis, doctors may prescribe from about 1 g to 3 g per day in divided doses. Capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water; do not chew or crush the capsules. You can take the dose with or without food, but try to keep dosing times even each day.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is near the time for your next scheduled dose. Do not double up to make up for a missed dose. If you are unsure what to do, contact your pharmacist or doctor for advice. Some medicines like iron supplements or antacids can interact with CellCept, so space these products by at least two hours around your dose where possible. Do not start or stop other medicines without talking to your prescriber, especially vaccines or other immunosuppressants.

Pregnancy and contraception are important concerns. Do not take CellCept if you are pregnant. Use reliable contraception during treatment and for a period after stopping, as advised by your doctor. If you are planning a pregnancy, discuss timing and alternatives with your clinician. Breastfeeding is generally not recommended while taking this medicine, so plan with your healthcare provider.

Important safety information in Australia

CellCept lowers immune defence, so infections are more likely. Report any signs such as fever, persistent sore throat, or skin infections promptly. Your doctor will monitor blood counts and liver function to catch potential problems early. Serious but uncommon side effects include severe infections, unusually low white blood cell counts, liver injury, and very rarely progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Live vaccines may be less effective or risky while on this medicine; check vaccine plans with your doctors.

Inform your clinician about all medications you use, including over-the-counter products and herbal supplements. Some medicines may affect how CellCept works, and your dose may need adjustment. If you are planning a pregnancy, or if your partner becomes pregnant, discuss timing and safety with your healthcare team. In Australia, your pharmacist will work with your prescriber to ensure the prescription is appropriate and safe for your situation.

Side effects and what to watch for

Common effects include stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting or abdominal pain, headaches, and swelling of the hands or feet. You may notice easy bruising or a tendency to bleed more easily, or feel unusually tired. Some people experience mouth ulcers or changes in digestion. If any of these occur or persist, talk to your pharmacist or doctor. Seek medical attention for signs of infection, severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or severe allergic reactions.

Storage, supply and where to buy in Australia

Store CellCept capsules at room temperature, away from moisture and direct light. Keep them out of reach of children. This is a prescription-only medicine and should be dispensed by a licensed Australian pharmacy. Some patients may obtain subsidised access under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) depending on indication and eligibility. When ordering online, use an Australian-licensed online pharmacy, have a current prescription, and verify the pharmacy’s contact details and pharmacist registration. Always follow the instructions provided by your prescriber and the product label.
