Medication advice mycophenolate

mycophenolate Advise please

My daughter had HUVS and possible lupus

She’s on hydroxychloroquine 200 mg and mycophenolate 1000 mg

Fexofenadine 360mg

She’s now developed very sore ulcers all over her tongue, and back of her throat.

My question is this likely to be a side effect to her meds?

Personally I would call the specialist nurses to ask the question. If your daughter doesn’t have this luxury maybe a call to her consultant’s secretary. I think glandular fever can cause these symptoms so could be completely unrelated. I hope she feels better soon.

I wouldn't think its hydroxy. I took that for a few years with no side effects. I'm not familiar with the other drugs. Best to speak to your doctor to get some answers.

Hope she's feeling better soon. Difflam is good for mouth ulcers, I use it as I have sjogrens and it keeps them at bay xx

Hi Sarah, I took mycophenolate for many years and have been on hydroxichloroquine too for over 10 years, I never suffered mouth ulcers as a result . Mouth ulcers I know though can be a symptom of lupus
