MONITOR: Animal studies have shown that coadministration with probenecid results in a 2-fold increase in the systemic exposure (AUC) of mycophenolic acid and a 3-fold increase in the AUC of mycophenolic acid glucuronide, an inactive metabolite. The proposed mechanism is competition of these agents for renal tubular secretion.
