Professional:In vitro studies have shown that mycophenolic acid in concentrations up to 100 mcg/mL decreases protein binding of phenytoin from 90% to 87%.

However, clinical toxicity has not been reported. It may be appropriate to monitor more closely patients receiving phenytoin or other hydantoins with mycophenolic acid products.
