Is PLEURAL EFFUSION a side effect of MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL patients who developed PLEURAL EFFUSION.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 446 individuals taking MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL reported PLEURAL EFFUSION to the FDA. A total of 16895 MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

Introduction This page is designed to help you determine the relationship, if any, between MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL and PLEURAL EFFUSION.
