Hello,

Yes, knee pain can be a side effect of Cellmune drug.

Used primarily in the prevention of organ rejection in patients receiving kidney, liver or transplants and secondarily in the treatment of certain mixed connective disorders.

In addition to other side effects, it's known to cause back pain, joint pains, muscle cramps, myalgia, muscle weakness, et cetera.

Her treating doctor needs to be consulted to adjust the dose of Cellmune or to prescribe an alternate effective drug for her multiple connective tissue disorder.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
