@ladydidehart, I see that you have read the information that @keggebraaten has posted. Does this go along with what your transplant team advised and with what you are using? Another member, @vashti, mentioned elevated tacrolimus levels. Have any of your labs been affected?
Has your transplant team approved the use of Tylenol ?

Hi Rosemary - as I mentioned my transplant team only advised me not to ingest them. I’m not on tacrolimus. I get a belatacept infusion monthly instead. I haven’t been advised of any levels being elevated. Also, yes they told me I could take Tylenol which I’ve tried only once since taking it right after my surgery. It doesn’t help with the neck pain and stiffness anyway.

I only use Panado.
My transplant team did not know anything re essential oil use. My one doc said it could be beneficial and another said i need to check my tacrolimus levels. So i figure its due to the use of essential oils perhaps.
