Can I take a tonic that includes pomegranate supplement when taking Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate anti-kidney-rejection medications? ## What else is in the tonic? Since you have had a transplant, and are taking these medications regularly, I would suggest speaking with your doctor, before taking anything that contains pomegranate. While the fruit is very healthy, and contains antioxidants, it has been known to affect how the liver metabolizes certain medications, according to FDA reports, and in rare instances, this has caused people to build up too much of the medications in their systems. Such a problem could result in liver damage, or failure.

Patient has taken Mycophenolate Mofetil made by 2 different manufacterers. On one of them he has no trouble sleeping, on the other he suffer with insomnia. Is the chemical makeup of the following two pills identical? mylan/472 and 93/7477 ## The active ingredients are the same, but the inactive ingredients could be different. Which one is causing the insomnia? Is the patient on any other medications? From what I've found, the FDA does not list insomnia as a possible side effect, but many patients have reported experiencing it.
