What Is CellCept 500mg Tablet?

CellCept 500mg Tablet is an oral immunosuppressant containing mycophenolate mofetil 500mg.

It is prescribed as part of combination immunosuppressive therapy following organ transplantation. By reducing specific immune-cell activity, mycophenolate mofetil helps lower the risk of the immune system attacking and rejecting the transplanted organ.

CellCept 500mg is commonly used alongside other transplant medicines, such as a calcineurin inhibitor and corticosteroid, according to the patient's individualized transplant regimen.

CellCept 500mg vs Mycophenolate Mofetil 500mg

CellCept® is a branded medicine containing mycophenolate mofetil.

Authorized mycophenolate mofetil 500mg products manufactured by other pharmaceutical companies may contain the same active ingredient and strength. However, the manufacturer, inactive ingredients, formulation, packaging and regulatory status may differ.

Patients who have received an organ transplant should not switch between mycophenolate products without medical guidance.

Generic CellCept 500mg

Generic CellCept 500mg generally refers to an authorized mycophenolate mofetil 500mg product marketed as an alternative to CellCept where permitted by the relevant regulatory authority.

The principal commercial search relationship is:

How it works

CellCept contains mycophenolate mofetil, which is converted into mycophenolic acid (MPA) after administration.

MPA inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), an enzyme involved in purine synthesis. This particularly affects the proliferation of activated T and B lymphocytes.

By reducing the proliferation of these immune cells, mycophenolate mofetil suppresses the immune response responsible for attacking transplanted tissue and helps reduce the risk of organ rejection.

CellCept 500mg may be prescribed to help prevent rejection following:

• Kidney transplantation
• Heart transplantation
• Liver transplantation

It is generally administered as part of a combination immunosuppressive regimen.

The appropriate CellCept dose depends on the type of transplant, the patient's overall health, other immunosuppressive medicines, kidney or liver function, tolerability and the transplant team's treatment protocol.

CellCept 500mg should be taken exactly as prescribed.

Do not increase, decrease or discontinue CellCept without consulting the transplant specialist. Maintaining the prescribed level of immunosuppression is important for preventing transplant rejection.
