We also can help coordinate your insurance benefits. Immunosuppressive drugs can help prevent rejection of your transplanted organ. However, taking these drugs might make you more susceptible to other health problems, so your doctor may prescribe additional medications to help protect you. Because patients with transplants have such special, long-term medication needs, Rx Partners has developed a program in which pharmacists are part of the transplant health care team. Specially trained pharmacists will assist you with your individual medication needs for years after your transplant.
Research continues to uncover new drugs and treatments for organ transplantation.
As part of one of the world's leading academic medical centers, pharmacists at Rx Partners know about current medication research and treatment. You will probably take immunosuppressive medications every day for the rest of your life. Immunosuppressive drugs are powerful and may have many side effects. Tell your doctor or pharmacists about all reactions and side effects, whether serious or mild. If you forget to take a dose of your immunosuppressive medications, call your transplant coordinator or a pharmacist at Rx Partners.
