In brief
CellCept is a transplant medicine: its ingredient, mycophenolate mofetil, damps down the immune system to help stop the body rejecting a donor organ.
CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) explained
Transplant recipients are given CellCept so that their immune system is less able to attack and reject the new organ. The CellCept consumer medicine information describes mycophenolate mofetil as an immunosuppressant that works by reducing immune activity.
This listing shows mycophenolate mofetil 500 mg. It does not name the manufacturer of the product supplied, so check the label on the pack you receive and confirm with your prescriber or pharmacist that it matches your prescription.
Australian CellCept forms and the 500 mg listing
The Australian brand range takes in a 200 mg/mL oral suspension, 500 mg vials given intravenously, 250 mg capsules and 500 mg tablets. Only a 500 mg strength is available on this page.
Mycophenolate 500 mg: what each pack costs
Every pack listed is 500 mg. These examples are calculated from the listed prices at the shop’s Australian-dollar rate on 8 October 2026, before delivery or other checkout charges.
| Strength | Pack size | Pack price | Price per unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 mg | 10 | A$144.79 | A$14.48 |
| 500 mg | 20 | A$241.33 | A$12.07 |
| 500 mg | 30 | A$274.09 | A$9.14 |
Going from the 10 pack to the 20 pack trims the unit price by about 16.7%; the 30 pack brings it down by about 36.9%.
A lower price per unit means a larger upfront payment. Choose only the quantity and strength appropriate to your prescription, and check the expiry date. Prices can change, so confirm the current pack price before ordering.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and two forms of contraception
Pregnant and breastfeeding women must not use CellCept; in pregnancy it raises the risk of miscarriage and birth defects. Women able to conceive may only take it while relying on two reliable contraceptive methods.
Allergy to mycophenolate
An allergy to either mycophenolic acid or mycophenolate mofetil means CellCept must not be used.
Safety while on CellCept
Infections become more likely. Skin cancer risk also rises, which is why sun-protective clothing and sunscreen are recommended, and the consumer information suggests talking with the doctor about a possible higher risk of cancer.
Live vaccines are to be avoided, and regular blood tests are needed. CellCept interacts with many medicines, so let all your doctors know you take it before you start anything new.
Taking the doses
There are two doses a day, spaced roughly 12 hours apart. Capsules and tablets go down whole; they should not be opened or chewed.
Side effects listed for CellCept
Acne, headache, urinary tract infections, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea are among the commonly reported effects.
Infections, unexplained bruising or bleeding, anaemia, enlarged lymph nodes and allergic reactions are listed as serious effects that need urgent medical attention.
