Cellcept Reviews
Working / Worked
I ran into some trouble breathing earlier this year after a cold and it triggered a strong MG reaction. So much so I was put on 4 500mg tablets Cellcept per day. No side effects but doctor would like to cut back the dosage a little anyway.

More good days on it!

Cellcept is an antirejection drug that my neurologist prescribed to slow the progression of the disease. He and I both think the symptoms have stabilized and my blood tests have shown that its keeping the white cell count at a stable level so apparently working as he expected. I take 4 pills each day havent had any side effects from it so not too intrusive.
