Transplant att: Joanne C.

[Guest guest]

Have you heard of people being put on Rifampin prior to transplant ? I know that

it's been used for TB and is also an anti-infective which I understand that

they're trying to prevent in-fection between now & D-Day. But it must not be

something commonly given ('cause Walmart had to order it & will get it in

today). The doctor told me that it will alleviate some of the symptoms I'm

having (itching & ascites) and they only prescribe this to people who's livers

are already shot.

(Rifampin) "

,

Many people have taken Rifampin for itching, who are still in early stages.

By the way, did your doc mention that it will turn your pee golden-orange?

Be prepared. Some even have golden tears and sweat, lol.
