Overview
Cellcept 250mg Capsule is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Mycophenolate mofetil 250mg. It is supplied as a capsule and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.
Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.
On DoctorOnCall, Cellcept 250mg Capsule is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.
Directions for Use
Take Cellcept 250mg Capsule on an empty stomach where possible, at the same times each day approximately 12 hours apart, swallowing the capsule whole with water – do not crush, chew, or open it, and avoid touching a broken or crushed dose with your bare hands, as this medicine can be harmful if inhaled or if it contacts broken skin or mucous membranes. Always take it alongside your other prescribed immunosuppressants, and attend every scheduled blood test so your transplant team can monitor your blood counts and adjust your dose if needed.
Dosage
The dose of Cellcept 250mg Capsule is individualised by your transplant specialist, usually starting soon after transplant surgery and continued long-term as part of a combination immunosuppressive regimen, typically taken twice daily. Your doctor will adjust your dose based on regular blood tests (including full blood counts) and how well you tolerate the medicine. Never change your dose or stop taking this medicine without your transplant team’s explicit instruction, as this can put your transplanted organ at risk of rejection.
Shelf Life
Use this product before the expiry date stated on the packaging. Do not use the medicine if the expiry date has passed.

Drug / Food Interactions

- Antacids containing magnesium or aluminium, and proton pump inhibitors, can reduce absorption of this medicine if taken too close together
- Cholestyramine significantly reduces the absorption of mycophenolate mofetil and should not be taken at the same time
Quick Tips

- Avoid direct contact with a broken or crushed dose; wash your hands thoroughly if contact occurs
- Report any signs of infection, fever, or unusual bruising/bleeding to your transplant team immediately

Yes. Cellcept 250mg Capsule is a prescription-only medicine (POM). It can only be supplied against a valid prescription written by a registered doctor, and it should be used only by the person named on the prescription label.
What does Cellcept 250mg Capsule contain?
Cellcept 250mg Capsule is supplied as a capsule and contains Mycophenolate mofetil 250mg. The full composition is listed in the Composition section on this page and on the product packaging.
Why is there no information here about what Cellcept 250mg Capsule is for?
Malaysian rules for prescription medicines limit public product pages to product, safety and handling information. Your doctor decides whether this medicine is appropriate for you and will explain it during your consultation, and your pharmacist can answer further questions when the medicine is dispensed.
How should I take Cellcept 250mg Capsule?
Follow your doctor’s instructions and the directions on the dispensing label without changing them. If anything on the label is unclear, check with your pharmacist before taking the first dose, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take it as soon as you remember, unless your next dose is nearly due. In that case skip the missed dose and carry on with your usual schedule. Never take two doses together to make up for a missed one. If you miss doses often, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
How should I store Cellcept 250mg Capsule?
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Keep it in the original pack until use, and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
What should I do if I notice side effects?
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you, and seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
Can I stop taking Cellcept 250mg Capsule on my own?
No. Speak to your doctor before stopping, pausing or changing the dose, even if you feel well or think you no longer need the medicine.
How do I get a prescription for Cellcept 250mg Capsule?
Customers in Malaysia can complete an online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor, who decides whether a prescription is appropriate, or upload a valid prescription already issued by their own doctor.
Orders going to Singapore are dispatched from Malaysia as an international delivery, so you need to hold a valid prescription or doctor’s letter for the medicine. Check the consultation and prescription upload options shown at checkout for your delivery address before placing the order.
How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Cellcept 250mg Capsule be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Cellcept 250mg Capsule registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
