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.
