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).
