Have you or others found mycophenolate mofetil (MMF/CellCept) helpful for TED?
MMF is an immunosuppressant that may be recommended for TED, particularly when eye drops alone aren't effectively controlling symptoms or when the condition has progressed to moderate or severe stages.
It works by dampening the immune system's attack on the tissues around your eyes. Your doctor might consider this treatment option if:
* Your symptoms are worsening despite other treatments
* You have moderate to severe TED
* Other first-line treatments haven't provided adequate relief
MMF is typically part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may also include other therapies like corticosteroids, eye drops, lifestyle changes, or biologics.
It's important to have open communication with your ophthalmologist or endocrinologist about how well any treatment is working for you. They can adjust your plan based on your response and help you find the most effective approach for managing your TED.
