No More Atovaquone!

During my (almost) one-year post-transplant call with UCLA this morning, the nephrologist said I could stop taking atovaquone in about a week. This was an anti-protozoa(!) medication usually prescribed to people who are immunocompromised. I was initially prescribed Bactrim(?) post-transplant but was switched to atovaquone after about a month after a test result. It is a liquid medication and tastes horrible. It also stained my bathroom sink yellow. I am super happy that I do not need to take it anymore.
