AboutNigel Simmons Expertise I am happy to answer general questions on medicines and hospital care. If possible, please use approved / chemical names rather than brands which are not internationally recognised.
Like all health professionals I am bound by a duty of care which prevents me giving detailed information about medication or treatment of people other than the questioner.
I will endeavour to help wherever possible or point towards more appropriate advice. If however your question crosses too far into patient confidentiality, I hope you will understand why I cannot answer your question.
Consider.. would you want me to discuss your care with a friend or relative without your knowledge?

Answer Matthew
This is a rather specialist topic for me, but I have a good friend who is Chief Pharmacist at one of the world's premier transplant centres. I'll pass the question to her and see what she can offer.

My colleague suggested that the following article will go a long way in answering your question. Although it is a couple of years old, it does describe how use of Milrinone (Primacore) has developed.
