@ers12345
I was told no food take 1 hour before ou eat or 2 hours after you eat. That is also the directions from my pharmacy.
I have been on it a total of 26 days and 2 weeks into it I went from 500 to 1000 mg.
I am waiting to feel a physical difference..... I guess its very slow acting . Can any one confirm this? And how do other people take this drug. W/ or WO food?

@leslyb I was given the same dosing instructions. Fortunately I don't have GI issues, this was a concern because often it is not tolerated.
I have been on Cellcept for three years, started at 500 and gradually increased to 2000. My DR said it can take three to six months to see improvement. It's a slow process and an additional medication was later added to my regime.

I have been on 3000mg of MYC for ~15 months. I follow directions and dr. Which said better absorption without food, so, 1500mg 2x per day, 1 hour before food Or 2 hours after food. Yes, some digestive issues which I mostly manage with diet. ... Small meals, reduce processed food, low fiber .. All helps. Lungs and skin stable now.
