What are the possible side effects of taking CellCept?

Because CellCept weakens your immune system, it is important to recognize signs of an infection—such as a fever, wound on the skin, persistent sore throat, night sweats, difficulty urinating, and vision changes—and to tell your doctor if you experience any of them. Other possible side effects of the CellCept drug include nausea, vomiting, constipation, gas, tremor, loss of appetite, or difficulty sleeping. These are usually not a cause for concern, but tell your doctor if any of these side effects last a long time or become bothersome. Contact your doctor right away if you have any rare but serious side effects, including an irregular heart rhythm, easy bleeding or bruising, unusual mood changes, swelling of the feet or ankles, change in your normal amount of urine, or weakness on one side of the body. Get emergency medical attention in the unlikely event that you have severe chest or abdominal pain, dark-colored vomit or stools, or difficulty breathing.

How do I store CellCept?

Always keep your prescription medications out of reach of children and pets. Store CellCept at room temperature, away from moisture and bright light. If you no longer need this medication or it has expired, ask your pharmacist how to safely dispose of it.

Warnings

CellCept can cause birth defects and miscarriages and should only be used during pregnancy when absolutely necessary. If you are a woman of childbearing age and you need this medication, talk to your doctor about effective birth control methods. CellCept can make hormonal birth control less effective.

Because your immune system will be weakened while taking CellCept, avoid coming into contact with anyone who has an infection. Do not get any live vaccinations (such as a flu vaccine), as they may not protect you from the infection.

CellCept may increase your risk for skin cancer, so avoid prolonged sun exposure and tanning beds. Always wear protective clothing and sunscreen when you do need to be outside.
