"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."

"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."

"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."
