What is CellCept?

1. CellCept contains the active ingredient mycophenolate mofetil.
2. CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) weakens your body's immune system, to prevent it from "rejecting" a transplant organ like a kidney. Organ rejection occurs when the immune system sees a new organ as an invader and attacks it.
3. CellCept is used with other drugs to prevent organ transplant rejection after a kidney, liver, or heart transplant.
4. CellCept is often taken with cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral) and a steroid medicine.
