Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Not necessarily: The meds you mentioned are immune suppressants. Side effects may or may not related. It is important to address this with your doc whether you have a transplant or other condition requiring immune suppression since there certainly are other options to be considered, depending on your condition, if needed.
