Hi- I’m on Tacro. Wondering if I should check with my transplant Dr about switching my medication? My skin is having things pop up pretty quickly so I’ll be having my third surgery in 10 months.

Hi @redlady65 😊
Does your dermatologist have experience managing transplant patients? My dermatologist recommended that I stay with the gold standard immune suppression meds and not adjust meds with my current situation. He put me on a weekly maintenance regimen of Fluorouracil solution (chemo solution) once a week on my scalp. Have you used Efudex, Fluorouracil, or any other chemo solution?
You should definitely discuss this with both your dermatologist and your transplant team for their thoughts. Does your dermatologist have experience managing transplant patients on immune suppression meds?
