Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Post-liver transplant, you will be on immunosuppressive medicines. The blood level of these medicines needs to be well maintained for adequate graft survival.

It is always better to avoid unnecessary medicines or supplements as most of them mentioned above may not have any proven benefit. Further, they can potentially interaction with immunosuppressive medicines.

You need to follow the advice of your primary transplant team strictly.

I hope your queries have been cleared.
