ABSTRACT
Over-the-counter medications are becoming increasingly available to the general public. One of the issues facing clinicians working with transplant recipients is how to advise patients regarding management of symptoms associated with common ailments. Minimal literature is available to assist the transplant coordinators in this process. This article describes the usual immunosuppressants prescribed for transplant recipients and the over-the-counter medications used to manage these symptoms, and provides recommendations for over-the-counter medications with the least side effects.
