Mycophenolic acid
Mycophenolic acid works by preventing certain types of white blood cells from multiplying. It is often used with other immunosuppressant medicines. Mycophenolic acid comes as a tablet taken by mouth.
Common side effects of mycophenolic acid include constipation, loose stools, upset stomach, urinary tract infection and upper respiratory infection. Contact your healthcare professional if these symptoms become severe.
