CLINICAL PARTICULARS

Myclausen is indicated in combination with ciclosporin and
corticosteroids for the prophylaxis of
acute transplant rejection in patients receiving allogeneic renal,

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment should be initiated and maintained by appropriately
qualified transplant specialists.
Posology
_Use in renal transplant _
_Adults _
Treatment should be initiated within 72 hours following
transplantation. The recommended dose in
renal transplant patients is 1 g administered twice daily (2 g daily
dose).
_Paediatric population aged 2 to 18 years _
The recommended dose of mycophenolate mofetil is 600 mg/m
2
administered orally twice daily (up to
a maximum of 2 g daily). Tablets should only be prescribed to patients
with a body surface area
greater than 1.5 m
2
, at a dose of 1 g twice daily (2 g daily dose). As some adverse
reactions occur with
greater frequency in this age group (see section 4.8) compared with
adults, temporary dose reduction
or interruption may be required; these will need to take into account
relevant clinical factors including
severity of reaction.
_Paediatric population < 2 years _
There are limited safety and efficacy data in children below the age
of 2 years. These are insufficient
to make dosage recommendations and therefore use in this age group is
not recommended.
_Use in cardiac transplant _
_Adults_
Treatment should be initiated within 5 days following transplantation.
The recommended dose in
cardiac transplant patients is 1.5 g administered twice daily (3 g
daily dose).
_Paediatric population _
