Drug Interaction Report

If you are currently being treated or have recently been treated with mycophenolic acid, you should let your doctor know before receiving meningococcal group ACWY conjugate-group B vaccine (cvx 316). Depending on the dose and length of time you have been on mycophenolic acid, you may have a reduced response to the vaccine. In some situations, your doctor may want to delay vaccination to give your body time to recover from the effects of mycophenolic acid therapy. If you have recently been vaccinated with meningococcal group ACWY conjugate-group B vaccine (cvx 316), your doctor may choose to postpone treatment with mycophenolic acid for a couple of weeks or more. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Take mycophenolic acid on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Food may reduce the absorption of mycophenolic acid. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. Do not crush, chew, or cut the tablets. The tablets have a special coating to protect the stomach from irritation.
