Hi, I had a kidney transplant 20 years ago. 3 Months ago I started to use Famotidine (FAMO 40mg) after Hiatal hernia was found.
The last blood test of my renal function was bad comparing to the usual.
Creatinine (from 1.6 to 2.7 ) and Urea (from 35 to 50) was increase.
Also, my blood preasure was increase (from 145/85 to 165/105).
And, the cyclosporine level was decrease from 70-80 to 45.
Is it possiable that the cause for all this is the Famotidine ?
Thank you for an answer!

When are you taking the cyclosporine? Sometimes meds like famotidine can inhibit complete absorption of another medication. You need to discuss your concerns with your dr.
