Description

What Is Mycept (Mycophenolate Mofetil) ?

MyCept is the brand name of the prescription drug mycophenolate mofetil, used to prevent organ rejection in people who’ve had a kidney, heart, or liver transplant.

The medicine is usually given along with other drugs.

It’s sometimes also used to treat Crohn’s disease (a condition in which the body’s immune system attacks the lining of the digestive tract).

MyCept is an immunosuppressant. It works by weakening the body’s immune system so that it won’t attack a transplanted organ.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved CellCept in 1995. It’s manufactured by Genentech, Inc.

Pregnancy and MyCept

MyCept contains a black-box warning because it may increase the risk of birth defects or miscarriage in pregnant women.

Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant shouldn’t take this medicine.

If you’re a woman of childbearing age, you must use two forms of effective birth control for four weeks before starting on MyCept, as well as throughout the duration of your treatment, and for six weeks after you stop taking the medicine.

MyCept may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, which is why it’s important to use two forms of birth control.

Tell your doctor immediately if you miss your menstrual period while taking MyCept.

It’s not known whether MyCept passes into breast milk or could harm a breastfeeding baby. Don’t breastfeed while taking this drug without first talking to your doctor.

 

You need to remember certain points such as –

  If you are a woman who is pregnant or wants to have a baby and you are taking MyCept, let your doctor know right away. This medicine may cause harm to the unborn baby. Use a birth control method while you are taking this immunosuppressive medicine. Ask your doctor to help you choose a method of birth control that will work for you.
  For the safety of the baby, breastfeeding isn’t recommended during treatment. Many immunosuppressive drugs like MyCept, may appear in high levels in breast milk and could potentially harm your nursing baby. To get more information, you should discuss this with your doctor. Your health care provider might recommend that you stop breast-feeding temporarily or permanently — depending on how long you need to take the medication.
  You will need to have regular blood tests and check-ups during your treatment with MyCept. Blood tests are done to help watch your body’s response to treatment. They can show small changes before problems get serious. Keeping track of your results lets your doctor take action as soon as your blood counts change to help prevent many kidney-related problems and renal treatment side effects.
  Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to cyclosporine drug or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes or preservatives. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
  Whether it’s safe to drink alcoholic beverages during treatment with cyclosporine depends on a number of factors, including which drugs the patient is receiving. Alcohol can interfere with the way some haemo-oncology drugs work, so patients should speak with their doctors about any potential side effects of drinking during treatment.
  Always consult your doctor and pharmacist about taking any other prescription or non-prescription medication, including herbs, supplements and street drugs. This medicine may affect the way other medicines or products work, and other medicines or products may affect how MyCept works. Taking MyCept together with certain medicines or products may cause serious side effects.
  If you miss a dose of MyCept, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. If it is close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your dosing schedule. Do not use extra dose to make up for a missed dose. Please consult your doctor to discuss changes in your dosing schedule or a new schedule to make up for missed doses, if you have missed too many doses recently.
  Taking a single dose of expired medicine is unlikely to produce an adverse event. Expired drug may become ineffective in treating your prescribed conditions. To be on the safe side, it is important not to use expired drug. If you’ve had a medicine for a while, check the expiry date before using it. If it has expired or is damaged, return it to your pharmacist for disposal.
  Before using MyCept, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially if you have liver problems (including hepatitis B or C infection), diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, heart or pancreas problems, or low blood potassium levels etc.
