Before you are discharged home you will be given six weeks worth of appointments with the transplant team for follow up. You will also be given a one off appointment with the transplant pharmacist to go through your medications and ensure any questions you have about them are answered.
On discharge the hospital will supply you with two weeks of medication after your transplants surgery, after this period the with the exception of Adoport, and Mycophenolate Mofetil (and Valganciclovir and Isoniazid if applicable) your medication should be ordered and supplied from your GP.
At the point of discharge and following your appointment with the transplant pharmacist, we will make contact with your GP to make sure they have all the information they need, including important information about your medications.
It is very important that you do not run out of medication. Ensure you order your medicines from their GP when you have two weeks remaining supply of the medication.
Occasionally it may be necessary to change some of your medication. This often needs to be done over the telephone after your appointment, once the kidney transplant team have seen your blood results. It is essential that the team has an accurate record of your medication at each appointment so you will be asked to bring your medication card to each appointment.
This webpage is a guide through some of the important information regarding your medication.
As a team we are here to support you through your transplant and beyond, so ask questions, talk things through if you need to.
