What do you order when eating at a restaurant?

Thank you so much for this food-drug interactions sheet! I was always concerned about cranberry juice being closely related with pomegranate juice and now I see cranberry on the interactions list for tacronlimis (Envarsus XR). I will stay away from it. Yes, I am taking the same drugs as you...tacronlimis and Cellcept. I know everyone takes a different dosage depending on their metabolism, etc. What dosage are you currently taking each day on an empty stomach?

I take 3 mg, am/pm Tac and I was taking 1,000 mg Mycophenolate am/pm, but got to reduce that down to 500 mg am/pm. I take those, Ursodial (for PBC), multivitamin, aspirin at 8:15 am, then eat around 9:30 or so. I try to eat supper by 5 pm. And, Tac, Mycophenolate, and Ursodial at 8:15. I drink 60-89 fluid ounces of water through out the day. It does get difficult when eating out with people, so if I’m eating later, I’ll usually advance my morning meds 15 mins.
Cranberry is a tough one. I occasionally add a couple to my fruit salad as they are healthy, especially to ward of UTI. Juice is certainly more concentrated, though.
How about you, how much do you take? There was a discussion recently about being careful about fungus exposure after transplant. I learned a lot about the differences in different organ transplants and bone marrow transplant…fascinating!
