Kidney rejection medication?

About a week ago my friend had a kidney transplant. I was wondering if she could take cyclosporine and sirolimus together? I don't know much about her condition so it's hard to go into detail.

Complaint duration: None?
Medications: I don't know?
Conditions: kidney failure I suppose

Good morning,

CSA+SRL is a well accepted immunosuppression strategy. I suggest to review all your medications with your transplant nephrologist and do not attempt any changes without proper expert review.
Please consult the transplant team for accurate usage of the medicine.
Whatever her transplant surgeon and team say for her to take. She has to be evaluated by the Team.
It is usually one medicine or the other alone with Cellcept and prednisone. Please consult with the patient's Nephrologist.
