he does take an immunosuppresant to fight off rejection, would the prescription medication have anything to do with it?
thanks for your insight delta it helps
if he is only taking one and he is several years from transplant it is probably Prograf, which is the drug tacrolimus. while it does have possible side effects itself the isolating factor is that he only gets this sensation after smoking.
he is probably taking .5-1.0 mg twice per day so that's 1-2 mg total, not much.
the people taking multiple anti-rejection drugs are getting higher doses of all of them. possibly up to four but there are three main ones.
unless this event happens any other time than using cannabis i wouldn't worry about it.
if it hurts there is nothing he can do about it except take a few tylenol about an hour before smoking. it's the only over the counter pain reliever liver transplants can take. tell him to take two of those 650 mg arthritis formula caps.
