ABSTRACT
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is being widely used as a maintenance imunosuppressive therapy in renal transplant patients. Myelotoxicity and gastrointestinal symptoms are the well-known adverse effects of this immunosuppressant. However, there areexistonly two reports on oral ulceration associtated with MMF.
