Take your medications according to the instruction of your transplant team or pharmacist.
If you are unclear about anything your transplant team has told you, ask them to explain
it.
Don’t change your medications regimen unless you have your doctor’s approval.
If you experience any signs of infection or rejection, notify your transplant team
immediately.
Talk to your Transplant Team if you are experiencing any unusual side effects.
