Guidance Recommendations

The MOH Drug Advisory Committee has recommended to:

• Reclassify mycophenolate mofetil 250 mg capsule and 500 mg tablet from the Medication Assistance Fund (MAF) to the MOH Standard Drug List (SDL); and

• List mycophenolate mofetil 500 mg powder for solution for infusion on the SDL

in view of favourable cost effectiveness compared to other immunosuppressants at the prices proposed by the manufacturer.

Subsidy status

SDL subsidy will apply for induction and maintenance treatment of active lupus nephritis and for all registered indications of mycophenolate mofetil in Singapore:

• Prophylaxis of acute organ rejection and treatment of refractory organ rejection in patients receiving allogeneic renal transplants,

• Prophylaxis of acute organ rejection and increased graft and patient survival in patients receiving allogeneic cardiac transplants, and

• Prophylaxis of acute organ rejection in patients receiving allogeneic hepatic transplants.
