CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) weakens your body's immune system, to help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted organ such as a kidney. Organ rejection happens when the immune system treats the new organ as an invader and attacks it.

CellCept is used with other medicines to prevent organ rejection after a kidney, liver, or heart transplant.

CellCept is usually given with cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral) and a steroid medication. It can be given by mouth or as an injection.
