Hi,
Myfortic (Mycophenolate) can cause body/back pain, arthralgia, myalgia, etc. Mycophenolate is widely used for long-term treatment of myasthenic patients because of its presumed effectiveness and relative lack of side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas,
