You should contact your rheumatologist - it can be a rare side effect of mycophenolate.
Not necessarily a drug side effect. Mouth ulcers have many causes:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouth...
Mouth ulcers daffodil can also be a sign of a flare. Hope they're not too painful. Difflam mouthwash can be very good for numbing the pain and getting rid of them. Have you got other symptoms going on as well ?. Are you due a Rheumy review as discussing them and your dose of Myco could be helpful for you.
I hope you've found Myco helpful as I took it for a long time very successfully.
Have a good bank Hol and keep safe. X
Thank you for replying I have been on micro for 6 months now and my consultant is ringing me on the 21st of June ,I have blood test every month so I am hoping my bloods are looking better ,how long have you been taking micro ?
I have stills not lupus and not on similar meds but can report a constant sore mouth, gums and throat, I use Tyrozet lozenges which help. Here’s the horrid bit - I also get nostril ulcers which are very sore indeed 👃
Thanks for replying .
I’m same but never occurred to me that this was Myco as I have Sjögren’s and mouth and nose sores are common extras. I’m just going up to highest dose of 3g now . Blood tests always fine. Maybe just not got your disease properly under control yet?
