Abstract

  • ▲ Mycophenolate sodium delayed release is an enteric-coated formulation designed to release the active agent (mycophenolic acid) in the small intestine.
  • ▲ Mycophenolate sodium delayed release was equivalent in efficacy to, and had a similar tolerability profile as, mycophenolate mofetil in de novo renal transplant patients treated with ciclosporin (cyclosporin) and corticosteroids in a well designed study of 12 month’s duration.
  • ▲ Maintenance renal transplant patients treated with ciclosporin and corticosteroids were converted from mycophenolate mofetil to mycophenolate sodium delayed release without any alteration in efficacy or tolerability in a well designed study of 12 month’s duration.
  • ▲ The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events with mycophenolate sodium delayed release was similar to that with mycophenolate mofetil.
