Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I wish I could add to this, but the two of you know what Cellcept is and side effects etc. I have not been on Imuran or Cellcept. I believe Joanne is on Cellcept, but we are both post transplant so I do not know how that would effect you pre transplant. Any one on this group that is pre or post on cellcept? Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I was put on Prednisolone for a while after the dual diagnosis of PBC/AIH and this was ok -.side effects of withrawal were awful -it took a year for me to come off the 10mgs dosage that I was on.I went onto Cellcept and was on it for a couple or 3 years -with great results and no side effects.I came off that ealier this year when I began to take Fenofibrate -I have't heard of anyone else taking this medication but I have had good results. I was diagnosed in 1999 with PBC and Staged through biopsy at stage 4.Diagnosed with AIH in 2000.Earlier this year I had a FIBROSCAN and was told that I didn't even have stage 1-so a reversal of fortune ?? I don't know -I keep scanning for news of other people taking fenofibrate as I know it is being trialled but haven't seen anything yet.My consultant has said that she has 17 patients on fenofibrate since November last year and every one has had good results. http://www.library.nhs.uk/Gastroliver/ViewResource.aspx?resID=257881 http://www.hepctrust.org.uk/news/2008/September/Fibroscan+Research.htm Louise Newcastle upon Tyne England PBC/AIH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
