Am I able to take adipex-p if I am diagnosed with a type of kidney disease?I was diagnosed with lupus nephritis and I am currently prescribed CellCept. What interactions and side effects could occur?

You should ask your doctor about this. It doesn't seem to have any obvious interactions with cellcept or with kidney function but you should double check with your doctor.

Here's the deal. There isn't necessarily an contraindication with Cellcept. However, adipex-p is known to increase blood pressure and shouldn't be taken by anyone with high blood pressure. Because you have Lupus Nephritis you are prone to high blood pressure due to your renal function. Has a doctor actually prescribed adipex-p to you? I would find it hard to believe that an MD who knows your Lupus Nephritis diagnosis would prescribe this medication for you. How overweight are you? What is your diet like? Do you exercise? These are all better options than taking a 'fat' pill. You need to be careful because taking these kinds of medications put stress on the body and we all know that stress causes Lupus flares. If I were you I would avoid this medication like the plague, but at the very least discuss it with your nephrologist and your rheumatologist prior to taking it.
