What is the purpose of the REMS?

The goal of the Mycophenolate REMS is to mitigate the risk of embryo-fetal toxicity associated with use of mycophenolate during pregnancy by:

  1. Educating healthcare providers on the following:
    • The increased risks of first trimester pregnancy loss and congenital malformations associated with exposure to mycophenolate during pregnancy.
    • The need to counsel females of reproductive potential on the importance of pregnancy prevention and planning when taking mycophenolate.
    • The need to report pregnancies to the Mycophenolate Pregnancy Registry.
  2. Informing females of reproductive potential who are prescribed mycophenolate about:
    • The increased risks of pregnancy loss (miscarriage) and birth defects.
    • The importance of pregnancy prevention and planning when taking mycophenolate.

What do participants need to know?
