Have you used CellCept for lupus, and has anyone used Luprolide Acetate to control fibroids?
Many MyLupusTeam members have experience with CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil). It's commonly used to treat lupus, especially lupus nephritis, by weakening the immune system to prevent it from attacking healthy tissue.
Members report varied experiences with CellCept. One member shared they've been on it since 2006 and haven't experienced fatigue as a side effect. Another mentioned that after years of taking it, reducing the dose causes symptoms to worsen, suggesting it helps keep them well.
Common side effects of CellCept include:
- Increased risk of infections
- Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting
- Upset stomach or abdominal pain
- Low blood cell counts
- High blood pressure
Since you just started a week ago, your body may still be adjusting. Some members wonder if side effects improve over time as they get used to the medication.
Regarding Luprolide Acetate for fibroids: This medication isn't discussed in lupus-specific contexts in the available information, as it's typically used for gynecological conditions rather than lupus itself. You should discuss any concerns about combining these treatments with your rheumatologist and gynecologist to ensure they work safely together.
