Cellcept and Zoladex

• Generic Name: mycophenolate mofetil
• Dosage Forms: capsules, tablets, oral suspension and injection
• Other Brand Names: Cellcept, Myfortic, MMF

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.

• Generic Name: goserelin
• Dosage Forms: implant
• Other Brand Names: Zoladex

Zoladex (goserelin) is a man-made form of a hormone that regulates many processes in the body. Goserelin overstimulates the body's own production of certain hormones, which causes that production to shut down temporarily.

Zoladex is used in men to treat symptoms of prostate cancer.

Zoladex is used in women to treat breast cancer or endometriosis. Goserelin is also used in women to prepare the lining of the uterus for endometrial ablation (a surgery to correct abnormal uterine bleeding).
