Hi Joy,I have been on Cellcept 1000mg 2 x daily for 4 years now. I started on Imuran but it made me violently ill. I don't seem to have any side effects or issues with Cellcept.Janie (55; IPF 10/04; WI)Every day and in every way, I'm getting better and better.Subject: Going to get new drugs...To: Breathe-Support Date: Friday, July 31, 2009, 3:33 AM
