I asked my transplant doc if I could have a scrip for either Cipro or Levaquin to fight my sinus infection.  I'm allergic to penicillin, I've had a rash from Ceftin, so I can't take those anymore.  My transplant doc refused, saying that Cipro and Levaquin interact badly with anti-rejection meds.  (So he gave me a scrip for Zithromax instead, which so far hasn't knocked out the infection.)

This was a real surprise to me.  Folks on this very forum have said that they take Cipro as part of their anti-rejection cocktail, so I was surprised to hear that it cannot be taken concurrently with anti-rejection meds.

So what's the story here?  Which anti-rejection meds do Levaquin and Cipro interact badly with?
