His current medications are:
1. Cellcept 750mg 1+0+1 2. Neoral 50mg 1+0+0 3. Neoral 25mg 0+0+1 4. Prednisolone 5mg 1+0+0 5. Zestril 10mg 1+0+0 6. Lasix 40mg 1+0+0 7. Leradip 10mg 1+1+1 8. Lopressor 50mg 1+1+1 9.

Sir please advise if we need to adjust any m
if he got infection then Cellcept should be tappered n cyclosporine CSA level should be done
blood C/S CRP done
broad spectrum antibiotics must be given
COVID19 PCR should be done
may need graft biopsy
very level CSA increase neoral to 25 mg 3+3
n Cellcept 500mg 1+1
tab deltacortil 5mg 3 daily times
for any final opinion
patient should be seen
treatment of infection should be generous after send culture and infection screen
CMV PCR
bronchoscopy WITH BAL
must be done
zestril should stop
and
I ma not in favour of different dosing of neural
in morning and evening
but its a clinician decision
i wish him a speedy recovery
