Mycophenolate mofetil
Mycophenolate mofetil works by preventing certain types of white blood cells from multiplying. It is often used with other immunosuppressants. Mycophenolate mofetil comes as a capsule taken by mouth or can be given as a shot by a healthcare professional.
Common side effects of mycophenolate mofetil include constipation, loose stools, headache, heartburn, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, weakness, acne, dizziness, skin rash and trouble sleeping. Contact your healthcare professional if these symptoms become severe.
