Are there any withdrawals or side effects from stopping Tacrolimus? I had a heart tx and I'm still on Rappamune, Cellcept, and Prednisolone. ## Has your doctor advised you to stop taking it? It is an immunosuppressant, so you should always follow your doctor's advice about taking such medications, as a sudden cessation that isn't supervised could result in organ rejection.

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.

I had a kidney transplant and am on the following medications: Tacrolimus, cellcept, amlodipine, atenolol, bactrim & humalog (for diabetes). Can I take forskolin as well? I weigh 228lbs. ## I am sorry, but since Forskolin is classified as a supplement, I have not been able to find any information on this. The FDA doesn't require testing for them, as it does for actual medications. Has your doctor instructed you take it?

I am taking doxycycline, tacrolimus, omeprazole, and a nasal spray presently. Could one or the combination cause a positive urine for cocaine? ## FAISAL- When you test positive for coke there's really no other drug out there (either prescribed or over the counter) that would give you a false positive for coke.., Honestly the only way to test positive for coke is if it's in your system. Yeah there are drugs that are over the counter and etc that will make you have a false positive for stuff like Benzos, methamphetamines, barbiturates, opiates and narcotics, but as far as cocaine if you test positive for cocaine it's because it is cocaine. There is nothing out there that will give you a false positive for cocaine when they test for cocaine. It's a specific test that tests ...
