How long does it take for Cellcept to work?

I started in October. I increased every two weeks 500 mg twice a day until I was taking 1500mg twice a day. I started feeling weak and tired. My hemoglobin dropped 6. I received 3 units of blood. (Side effect anemia. I had to decrease my dose and start over again.Today I feel better. My M.D. stated that it could take effect 2 weeks-6 month. I had lupus pneumonitis. I'm praying that I'm in remission.

lurmonda; Celcept starts to work shortly after you start it and has to be watched very close by the doctor This is most common used for organ transplant to stop rejection etc so you do have enough in your system. You should call your doctor and let the doctor know of all the problems you are having with this medication Now you are taking it on an empty stomach 1 hour prior or 2 hours after a meal. Anyway your body should be used to it So please call your doctor TODAY and find out what is all going on you may need another blood test. and at times they do use other medications with this to help also. Best of luck now please call your doctor.
