The use of immunosuppressive drugs such as CellCept in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as systemic sclerosis involves the need to be very careful and put a strain on the body, especially the liver and digestive system.
Although a symbolic, occasional amount of alcohol consumed once every six months by a clinically stable person should not cause a drastic chemical interaction with the drug, for medical reasons, complete abstinence remains the safest solution. Alcohol can exacerbate gastrointestinal side effects (such as nausea or stomach pain), as well as put additional strain on the liver and weaken the immune response.
Before deciding to consume even a small amount of alcohol, it is imperative that you consult your doctor, who knows your current test results and the full profile of the disease.
