Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cellcept (mycophenolate mofetil) and Amitiza (lubiprostone). Common drug interactions include chest pain among females and abdominal pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cellcept and Amitiza. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
