Propose merging Mycophenolate mofetil into this article, or alternatively reserve that article for chemical information (since WP:CHEMS would treat these as separate entities) and keep all pharmacology in Mycophenolic acid (according to WP:PHARM practice). --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 18:34, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with the above user. Moreover since Mycophenolate mofetil is a prodrug to Mycophenolic acid, every other things are the same for them. Both the articles seem a duplicate. Dr. Shoubhik 04:21, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Suggest adding conditions treated with this medication

I'm not qualified, but perhaps somebody who is should include Auto-Immune Hemolytic Anemia and Immune Thrombocytopenia (also collectively called Evans Syndrome) in the list of conditions sometimes treated with mycophenolate motefil.--Doug Gillett (talk) 04:42, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Less accurately" called mycophenolate...

I challenge the statement that it is truely inaccurate, as the article's own pharmacology section refers to it as mycophenolate and even claims that it is metabolized into mycophenolic acid in the liver. This fact alone would make it a pro-drug and, thus, appropriately named.

At the very least, can we get a source, or an explanation in the talk page? This must have really struck an "ism" for someone.

The first sentence says that mycophenolic acid (the free acid) is less accurately called mycophenolate (which is strictly speaking either the anion or the ester radical). The pharmacology section says that mycophenolate mofetil (the ester prodrug, which is contained in CellCept) is metabolized to mycophenolic acid, which is correct. Myfortic contains the sodium salt of mycophenolic acid, so this metabolization step doesn't occur. Any idea how to make this clearer? --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 11:54, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
