i am on it and the side effects are minimal.
i am on 2000 mg a day but i understand it can go up to 3000.
good luck. i saw in another thread that you were comparing to cytoxan..
there is no comparison on side effects. cellcept is milder and if it works for you, a better alternative.
i wish you as much success with it as i had.

it is true, and it can also cause tremors. but it has helped my kidney function so much that i could deal with all of that.
i hope you have the same success. it reduced my numbers dramatically.
What about the cost? With insurance my cost would be $85.00 a month for 1000 mg dose. I'm seriously considering the Imuran for 2 reasons. I was on it before and had good results with minimal side affects and the cost! Whew!
Any opinions?

Does your insurance coverage include prescription mail order? For me, Cellcept will be $99 a month with insurance at the pharmacy or I can get 3 month's worth for $50. My rheumatologist was not happy to write a 3 month prescription. Threatened to revoke it if I missed even 1 lab appointment.... I am nervous about taking this drug so I plan to be very compliant.
Thanks so much for the reply.
The mail order program is not a very good one. You pay 3 months co-pays and get 3 months supply of meds. Really strange!! I'm really leaning towards Imuran as I've been on it before in the past and it was successful for me.
