Available by prescription only, CellCept
® (
mycophenolate mofetil) is a medicine used to prevent organ rejection in people who have a heart, liver, or kidney transplant.
CellCept works by blocking the action of certain enzymes in the body, making the immune system less active. The body's natural response to a foreign material, such as a newly transplanted organ, is to attack it and try to get rid of it. Because CellCept makes the immune system less active, it can help prevent transplant rejection from occurring.
