I have been diagnosed with birdshot choryoretinopathy and have been prescribed Mycophenolate (500 mg) , one pill twice daily for 2 weeks, then two pills twice daily for another two weeks, until three pills twice daily.
Is that the usual prescription? It seems to be over prescribed. Why not keep to the one pill twice daily? I do not have many other symptoms- other than a retinal membrane and uveitis.

Mycophenolate(500mg pill) maximum dosing is 3 pills twice a day and taking on empty stomach is key for absorption. Your dosing depends on disease activity so if you were active on lower dosing then increasing to maximum is appropriate. Please speak with your doctor to make sure your inflammation is controlled.
