After your transplant, medicines will play an essential role in keeping your new kidney working properly and maintaining general good health.
You will have to take some medicines for the rest of your life. Other medicines will be necessary only for a limited time after the operation.
From time to time, the dose of a medicine may change, or you may be switched from one medicine to another. The pages below aim to provide some guidance on what your medicines are for, why you need to take them and where to get more supply from.
As a team we are here to support you through your transplant and beyond, so please contact us if you need more information.
