It's understandable to be concerned about starting a new medication like CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil), especially with your medical history. Here are some key points about CellCept:

- Common Side Effects: Nausea, gas, vomiting, trouble sleeping, constipation, muscle and joint pain, headache, tremors, tingling or burning sensations, and swelling in the hands, arms, feet, and lower legs.
