CICLOSPORIN (CYCLOSPORINE) - RED YEAST RICE(MONASCUS PURPUREUS)
Red yeast rice has been reported to cause rhabdomyolysis in a kidney transplant patient taking ciclosporin.
Ciclosporin is well known to interact with the statins, and this interaction appeared to be mediated by a statin-like component in the red yeast rice. Patients should report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness.
