I would definitely check with the transplant pharmacist (the one in the hospital not the one meds are obtained through). I was taking Biotin and Turmeric and had cleared it through the transplant team. Then later for other reasons my team asked the pharmacist who said that I shouldn't be taking either one. The one boosts your immunization (not what any of us on immune suppressors want) and the other isn't good to take with all the other meds due to taxing the liver too much.

Hi--thanks for replying and for this information. You're right about checking with the hospital pharmacist as well as the doctors about every single thing that gets into your system--orally, subcutaneously, or otherwise. While these guys know what isn't safe, and what isn't tested to their knowledge, they may not be up to date. So it's worth poking around the reliable research institutions (NIH, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, etc) for other information. And providing your doc and pharmacist with those links. There may be nothing, but there may be something helpful that has been overlooked. In any case, everything goes through the team before 'trying' anything new.
