Reference for Anti-Rejection Drugs

For all of you transplant recipients or parents of transplant recipients - I want to share with you some information on anti-rejection (also called immunosuppressants) drugs I came across in a posting at Jaundice Jill’s Space.

As Jaundice mentions in her posting it can be highly confusing with the number of pills and their varying instructions, dosages, and time tables for taking them following your transplant.

The following are links that Jaundice provided in her post that shows photos of the various medications and possible side effects.

Jaundice - Thank you for sharing this very helpful information!
