I want to pop in to this discussion with some information about Mycophenolate.

Here is the Dosing statement for both (links listed below): Mycophenolate Mofetil (Cellcept) and for Mycophenolate (Cellcept, Myfortic)- "The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine."

You can read more about dosing, the Side Effects , and Proper Use -

I am taking Mycophenolate Mofetil (Cellcept) and I was unaware that each has a different dose prescribes to each medication, and to each different organ.
Thanks for sending me on this search.

As per my transplant team:
I believe 500mg of Mycophelonate is equal to 360mg of Myfortic ,1000mg equals 760mg, 250mg equals 180mg . Let me know if this conversion is correct
