Dizzy still after my liver transplant

Hello
You mentioned that Myfortic was recommended to you for a liver transplant.
As a post-liver transplant recipient, I was prescribed Cellcept and Tacrolimus for rejection.

Myfortic, according to my research, is exclusively for kidney transplant patients.

I investigated and discovered the following:

Is Myfortic synonymous with CellCept?

Myfortic (Mycophenolic acid):

Mycophenolic acid (Myfortic) and mycophenolate mofetil (Cellcept) are related but not identical. Both drugs are given twice a day and work to suppress the immune system in order to prevent rejection following a kidney transplant. They are not interchangeable since they are absorbed differently by the body.

I need to know a little more about this topic, so please share your thoughts.

Thanks

Hi, as previsouly mentioned, my patient had kidney transplant.
I asked nephrologist if she can lower the dosage to 1 tablet twice a day instead of thrice a day, she doesn't want too. She thinks Myfortic is not causing the lightheadedness/dizziness.
