Transplant; C diff from antibiotics (Doxycycline)

@rosemarya I recently had cataract surgery. The surgeon directed me to use three different eyedrops, which I chose to have compounded into one drop. But, I also made sure I cleared it all with my oncologist to make sure there wouldn't be any negative interaction. I realize transplants and blood cancer are two vastly different animals, but anyone with immune system issues need to be aware of drug interactions! By the way I was told there was no problem.

Ginger, I am scheduled for my 1st cataract surgery in 2 weeks. My opthamologist has contracted with a compounding pharmacy to compound the 3 medicines for his patients. It was delivered yesterday, along with an eye patch and a pair of sunglasses that I am supposed to take with me on the day of my procedure. I like your reminder to check with my pharmacist about the drops. It hadn't occurred to me because I already take nightly eye drops and I have also been treated with eye injections by retina specialist with no issues. My transplant team is aware of those. I will call the Mayo Specialty Pharmacy and speak to a pharmacist on Monday. I'll let you know what I find out.
