"Started originally on CellCept and felt significantly better, and dermatomyositis rash was well controlled until I had sudden onset of GI symptoms. Doc immediately took me off, then started me on Myfortic, and although GI is better, I don't think it works as well as CellCept. I may be considering a change to MTX."

Mycophenolic acid "1440 mg after a 2-month buildup of med for DM. Finally, noticeable improvement with skin in redness, soreness, ulcers, and Gratton on hands. Med doesn’t break down in liver like CellCept. Have elevated liver, so works better. Unknown if it's helping joint-wise or facial dermatological-wise."

"I’ve been taking Mycophenolate Mofetil for 9 months. I believe it’s been helping me with my dermatomyositis. I have not had any serious side effects, other than possibly heartburn."

"I've been taking mycophenolic acid for a year, and my symptoms are well-controlled with no side effects whatsoever. It is pricier than Cellcept (copay is $100 per month!), but Cellcept made my heart race."
