Important Safety Information:

WARNING:

Immunosuppression may lead to increased susceptibility to infection and possible development of lymphoma. Only physicians experienced in immunosuppressive therapy and management of renal, cardiac or hepatic transplant patients should use CellCept.

-- Cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), sometimes
