@cmael, we were told to avoid all NSAIDs when my husband was on dialysis. Only Tylenol was approved. Since his kidney transplant, Tylenol is the only OTC pain reliever I give him. But I always consult with either the transplant team or the local neph first before giving him any medication that may react with his immunosuppressant drugs. We got an email from Mayo Az not too long ago saying Paxlovid, the COVID 19 treatment, interacts with transplant drugs and may be toxic to the kidney!

Yes, I’ve heard that, too. I’m getting the Evushield monoclonal antibodies. I hope that it helps.
