Azacitidine Subcutaneous and Mycophenolate Suspension

• Generic Name: azacitidine
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Vidaza

Azacitidine injection is used to treat patients with French-American-British (FAB) myelodysplastic syndrome subtypes, including refractory anemia or chronic leukemia.

Azacitidine belongs to the group of medicines called metabolites. It interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by azacitidine, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Some effects may not occur for months or years after the medicine is used.

Azacitidine is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of your doctor.

• Generic Name: mycophenolate mofetil
• Dosage Forms: powder, for oral suspension
• Other Brand Names: Cellcept, Myfortic, MMF

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.

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

Mycophenolate mofetil may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
