Mycophenolate Mofetil Capsules Compounded for Dogs and Cats

Overview – Mycophenolate Mofetil Capsules

Mycophenolate Mofetil capsules are compounded specifically for dogs and cats based on a veterinarian’s prescription. Some patients require individualized strengths or capsule sizes not commercially available, and compounding allows veterinarians to request the exact dose needed for each pet. These custom capsules support accurate and consistent dosing and provide an option for animals that respond best to solid oral medications.

This compounded preparation is not an FDA-approved medication. It is prepared only when a prescriber determines that no suitable commercial product is available or appropriate for an individual patient.

Why Veterinarians May Prescribe Mycophenolate

Mycophenolate Mofetil is an immunosuppressant that veterinarians may include in individualized treatment plans when immune-modulating therapy is needed. In dogs, it may be used within broader therapeutic protocols at the veterinarian’s discretion.

In cats, available pharmacokinetic data suggest that usefulness may vary, so veterinarians typically reserve its use for select cases where they feel it may be beneficial.

Important: No claims are made regarding safety or effectiveness for treating specific diseases. All therapeutic decisions, including dose and duration, are determined solely by the prescribing veterinarian.
