Important myfortic® Trials


Enteric coating has been suggested as a potential method of improving the therapeutic window of mycophenolic acid, the intent being to enhance tolerability relative to exposure. For this reason, enteric-coated myfortic was developed. This section provides citations to papers that describe studies evaluating myfortic for safety and efficacy, and establish that patients can be safely converted from mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to myfortic.
