About Cellcept 500 mg Tablet 10's

Cellcept 500 mg Tablet 10's belongs to a class of medications called ‘immunosuppressants’ used to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ such as a kidney, heart or liver. Transplant rejection occurs when the recipient’s immune system identifies the transplanted organ as a ‘foreign object’ and attacks it. If it is not treated promptly, it may cause irreversible damage.

Cellcept 500 mg Tablet 10's contains ‘Mycophenolate mofetil’ used in the treatment of organ transplant rejection along with another immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory agent. It inhibits T and B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cells that attack foreign cells) and suppresses the production of antibodies (identify and kill foreign cells). These effects suppress the immune system so that the transplanted graft is not rejected.

Cellcept 500 mg Tablet 10's is available in the form of oral tablets, suspension and injections. It would help if you took the oral formulations, i.e. tablet and suspension on an empty stomach. Also, make sure you avoid direct contact of the suspension with the skin. The dose and duration are prescribed by the doctor based on your health condition. Cellcept 500 mg Tablet 10's's common side-effects are diarrhoea, vomiting, decreased white blood cells and red blood cell count and infections. Consult your doctor right away if any of these side-effects persist or get worsen.

Do not take Cellcept 500 mg Tablet 10's if you are allergic to ‘mycophenolate mofetil’ or any ingredients present in it. Also, do not take if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, not using effective contraception and breastfeeding. It can cause birth defects/congenital disabilities in the unborn baby, so make sure you take a pregnancy test before using Cellcept 500 mg Tablet 10's if you are a woman of childbearing potential. You are advised to use effective contraception while taking Cellcept 500 mg Tablet 10's. It can increase the risk of skin cancer, so wear protective clothing and limit exposure to sunlight.
