Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, Krill oil does interact with beta-blocker, metoprolol you are taking but it may also intercept with immunosuppressive therapy as not necessarily all interactions have been trialed on humans.

With such a history of renal disease, and on verge of recovery, an extra cautious approach should be adopted instead of trying every other home remedy, or online advice, or even unauthenticated products for your renal safety.

Nothing of this type should be taken without consulting your nephrologist and any short term benefit should not lead to overlooking long term advantage of being dialysis free and to keep transplanted kidney working.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
