Improved Gastrointestinal Symptoms and Quality of Life after Conversion from Mycophenolate Mofetil to Enteric-Coated Mycophenolate Sodium in Renal Transplant Patients Receiving Tacrolimus
It is reported that a conversion from mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) relieves gastrointestinal (GI) symptom burden and improves health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, it is unclear whether renal transplant recipients using tacrolimus receive the same benefit from the conversion. In this prospective, multi-center, open-label trial, patients ...
متن کاملEnteric-coated mycophenolate sodium is therapeutically equivalent to mycophenolate mofetil in de novo renal transplant patients.
The introduction of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) represented a major advance in transplant medicine, although optimal use may be limited by gastrointestinal (GI) side-effects. An enteric-coated formulation of mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS; myfortic) has been developed with the aim of improving the upper GI tolerability of mycophenolic acid. Therapeutic equivalence of EC-MPS (720 mg b.i.d.) and MM...
متن کاملRandomized trial of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium versus mycophenolate mofetil in multi-system autoimmune disease
BACKGROUND The use of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in autoimmune disease is often limited by adverse effects. In this single-centre, open label, parallel design study, we investigated whether enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (MS) is better tolerated and therefore more efficacious than MMF in primary systemic vasculitis (PSV) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS Forty patients wit...
متن کاملMycophenolate mofetil and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium in the treatment of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus.
UNLABELLED What is known and objective: Pemphigus is a severe, potentially life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease. The use of corticosteroids has dramatically improved the prognosis and changed its course. However, current morbidity of pemphigus is largely iatrogenic, caused by side effects of the long-term, high-dose corticosteroid therapy that is necessary to sustain disease control. ...
متن کاملEvaluation of tolerability of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium versus mycophenolate mofetil in de novo renal transplantation.
INTRODUCTION Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), pro-drug mycophenolic acid (MPA) is an immunosuppressive effective in the prophylaxis of acute rejection, but associated with gastrointestinal adverse events. Mycophenolate sodium (MPS) with enteric coating was developed with intention of reducing such gastrointestinal adverse events associated with MPA. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the tolerability of EC-MP...
