Well, it's official, my friend, Dr. Bill has no knowledge of a reputable, definitive, searchable database to identify which, if any, Rx drugs can interfere with organ donation.
He also wants me to mention that allergy shots can hurt your kidneys and we should all learn carefully before agreeing to receive them.
So, I'm back to square one, it seems to be different everywhere, even region to region here in the states. Perhaps the best way to learn whether Rx meds will interfere with your ability to donate organs is to study the fine print associated with your own meds.
My impression from Dr. Bill is that since not everyone has the same experience with any med, it's up to the surgical team at the time of harvest to determine the health and viability of each organ.
