Side effects of Ibuprofen and mycophenolate.

Has anyone else experienced the same side effects from these two drugs. I have Granulomatosis And have just had a nasty experience from taking mycophenolate. The lastime I had a similar experience was when I was prescribed Ibuprofen for joint pains ten years ago. They both have phenol in their chemical acids. If this is significant I wish I had known in January.

Hi, I have been taking Mycophenolate for many years with no side effects. I started with 5 tablets a day and am now down to 2. My consultant said she wants to drop my tablets to 1 a day but I am a bit reluctant. I also take penicillin because i have no spleen. I have not had any side effects and consider myself very lucky. I have always stayed away from Ibuprofen and only take paracetamol. Hope you get things sorted. Nicky

Thanks Nicky. I am going to be moved on to another steroid to thwart my immune system. I shall keep away from any phenol products in future.

Best wishes
