administered orally twice daily (up to a maximum of 2 g daily).
Mycophenolate Mofetil 500 mg Tablets should only be
prescribed to patients with a body surface area greater than 1.5 m

at a dose of 1 g twice daily (2 g daily dose).

including severity of reaction.

age group is not recommended.

following transplantation. The recommended
