Abstract
Mycophenolate mofetil is an immunosuppressive drug used for prevention of graft rejection following solid organ transplant and for treatment of autoimmune disorders. We report a case of a 24-year-old female with lupus nephritis that presented following ingestion of 10 grams of mycophenolate in a suicide gesture. Serum levels confirmed ingestion. The patient was treated with decontamination and supportive care and recovered with no adverse effect.
