My dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis and given a script at the emergency vet for mycophenolate. However, my regular vet has never heard of this drug being used for pancreatitis. Does this drug have anti-inflammatory effects on the pancreas??
-
Mycophenolate is an immunosuppressive agent that works by reducing the production of inflammatory chemicals, blocking antibodies that attack your own tissues, or inhibiting the actions of hyper-stimulated immune cells. If the diagnosis of pancreatitis was believed to be immune related, Mycophenolate can be a possible treatment option.
