Hello @suzylulu, Your question on how does Cellcept work is a great question. I think it's always a good thing to have an understanding of how a medication works. Here's what I found out from the website Cellcept – RheumInfo: https://rheuminfo.com/ --- "Cellcept (mycophenolic acid) works by preventing certain types of cells from multiplying. It targets an enzyme in the body called inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase that is important for creating new strands of DNA. By interfering with this process, Cellcept makes it difficult for cells to multiply."

Here are the side effects of Cellcept -- Mayo Clinic - Mycophenolate Mofetil (Oral Route) - Side Effects: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/mycophenolate-mofetil-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20073191
