Mycophenolate is a fasting drug. Is it just food when you say fasting? Does alcohol count?

Hello Ma'am,

This medication should be taken on an empty stomach to increase its absorption. In fact, taking the drug with a meal can decrease the amount of the active product in the body by 40%.

Unfortunately, we do not have data on whether this interaction is also present with alcohol. So it is best to abstain.

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
