Discover the myfortic® Difference

Are myfortic® and CellCept® different medications?
myfortic® and CellCept® deliver the same highly effective immunosuppressive drug called mycophenolic acid (MPA). The difference between myfortic and CellCept is that myfortic is an enteric-coated formulation of MPA in a delayed-release tablet.

Why is myfortic enteric-coated?
Enteric coatings are specifically designed to delay the release of the active ingredient in the medication until it reaches the right place in the body to do its work. myfortic's special coating keeps it from dissolving in your stomach right after you take it. The active ingredient is not released until it reaches your small intestine.

Are there any other differences between myfortic and CellCept®?
Yes, you can always tell them apart by their size. myfortic 360-mg tablets are visibly
smaller than 500-mg CellCept tablets (21% smaller in width, 10% smaller in volume). Plus,
the pale orange-red color of the 360-mg myfortic tablet may help you avoid confusing
your medications. myfortic 180-mg tablets are lime green and are visibly smaller than
CellCept 250-mg capsules, which are a blue-brown color.

Find out how myfortic delivers the same effectiveness and safety as CellCept.
