Mycophenolate mofetil treatment of immune-mediated skin disease in dogs

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an immunosuppressive agent used in human and companion animal medicine for the treatment of immune-mediated disease. In humans, it was initially approved for prevention of renal allograft rejection and its use has since expanded to several other immune-mediated diseases. In companion animals it has been prescribed for the treatment of multiple immune-mediated conditions including, but not limited to, hemolytic anemia, acquired myasthenia gravis, and pemphigus vulgaris.
