User Reviews for CellCept oral

post-transplant for almost 4 yrs now but cellcept has now started causing me alot of nausea and some vomtiting and, well, you know the rest. ok except the stomach side effects and some hair loss

Been on cellcept and prograf for 2 years followimg kidney/pancreas transplant. Great for preventing rejection , but side effects are getting more numerous and more severe for me. My quality of life is now horrible.

Have a very rare disease WEGENER'S GRANULOMATOSIS (vasculitis).No known cure.I have had this for one year. I was treated with CYTOXAN and 60mg PREDNISONE for four months then put on CELLCEPT 500MG twice a day. Now taking 10MG prednisone.No side effects at this time. Lab work getting better and I have more energy.My Drs say this drug is very effective for many diseases. It sure been a life saver for me.

Have had the new kidney for 7 years , and taking cellcept has kept it healthy. i have had a few side effects, but nothing serious. keeping a good attitude and taking the meds faithfully is important.

I just started using this drug for Lupus and Non-hodgekins Lymphomia and I have not had any severe side effects. I have been more tired than usual but unable to sleep at night. I have had diahrrea. I am not up to the full dosage yet.

Using Cellcept for 6 yrs. with little or no side effects.

headaches vomiting tired

many severe side effects

lupus

CELPCEPT IS THE THIRD LEG OF THE STOOL. MY PREVIOUS TRANSPLANT CELCEPT WAS NOT USED YET. I LOST MY FIRST GRAPH WITHIN 10 YEARS. LONG TERM SMOLDERING REJECTION OVER SEVERAL YEARS. CURRENT GRAPH OVER 10 YEARS AND NO SIGN OF REJECTION. EXCELLENT RESULTS AND I FEEL CELCEPT HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT DRUG FOR MAINTAINING THIS KIDNEY.

Four years as a heart transplant

CellCept has given me my life back. My SLE (Lupus) had stop responding to methotrexate after 7 seven years. Although, I have been on this drug for 3 months, my white blood count is going up and C3 and C4 are starting to go up as well. I do get headaches but nothing compare to what I had been going through before. A word of caution....When making changes from chemotherapy...stay away from individuals who are sick.. I ended up with a prolapsed lung, and bad infection due to being on two chemotherapy and steroids...I only hope the drug continues to work for me. I currently take 1000 mg bid. Read More Read Less

My 45 year old husband was given CellCept in May 2008 to help his kidney function improve following a 2005 bone marrow transplant for Leukemia. The CellCept caused a rare but fatal brain virus called PML of which we received no warning. My husband lost his sight, all bodily functions, laid in a hospital bed from July 29, 2008 until he died in my arms on September 20, 2008. His doctor described PML as having a slow stroke everyday.

Been taking 2000mg a day for over a month now. Due to being an immunopsuppressant, I developement pnuemonia. I have no appetite, hair loss, naseaua. Can't really tell if the drug is working to stop the disease, only time will tell. But if this is how I will feel the entire time on Cellcept, I'm thinking of telling my doctor no more!

I have severe recurring dyshidrotic eczema. Have tried everything except uv treatments. I've been taking Cellcept for a month so far. Told I won't see any changes for 3 months and will need to take it for 15 months. Taking 2000 mg. daily. Not happy about nausea or feeling tired. Think I may be experiencing some hair loss in addition to normal daily hair loss and I also feel depressed even though I am on Celexa for that. I am also starting to get bad headaches when I rarely ever got headaches before. I've also went in to the office for corticosteroid shots when blisters become too painful and won't clear up, which causes weight gain but clears it up after about 10 days for maybe 2 days and then the next round of blisters starts up. I really hope the cellcept works. If anyone else has used it for eczema with success, please let me know! Read More Read Less

In 1997 I was diagnosed with Pemphigus, I took other medication and the ones below to keep it in control, but I still having blister. In the middle of 1999 I was put on CellCept ever since November 1999 I had not even had any blisters, and no side effects of sny type. Now I take 1.500.00 mg Capsules twice a day, 100 mg of Dapson once a day, 10 mg of Pregnisone every other day, 400 mg of Tagamet control it. I see My Dermatoligist every 3 months, and so far all test are good. Bassicaly all my Doctors and sCellCept had saved my life.
