Global Patient Feedback for Cellcept (Mycophenolate)

I take CellCept for ITP (low platelets). I have been on 1,500 mg. twice a day for almost a year, and my platelets are at a safer level. I don't notice any bad side effects. Does anyone else take it for ITP? 64 year old female

I am taking Mycophenolate for Myasthenia Gravis but I don't see it listed as a percentage! Is this a new usage?

I had just stocked up on CellCept-(Mycophenalte Mofetil) so I now have 360 (500 mg) tablets, unopened and unused. I was taken off the CellCept ,and would like to donate them to an individual or organization in need. Any ideas?
