Change from adeport to envarsus

[Adelou]

So this evening marks 3 weeks since hubby's liver transplant, however Tuesday he was readmitted to hospital after blood tests revealed potassium was too high. Today his adeport was changed to envarsus which is taken once a day as it is slow release & he was discharged. Just wondering if anyone else has theirs changed?

I have always been on advagraf, and cellcept which was recently changed to myfortic. I hope the change lowers the potassium levels. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Infact I’ve realised Advagraf and envarus seem to be the same thing, tacrolimus once a day.

I had my Tacrolimus changed to Sirolimus not long after my transplant in 2013 as suspected rejection but I think, though, that it was also because my kidneys where playing up as i have CKD due to an overdose (at the hospital) of Gentimicin ( an antibiotic) in 2011. The Sirolimus are kinder to the kidneys. I have been ok on these since. I hope hubby is ok on the new tablets and everything goes well. There are always a few changes at first while the body gets used to the new liver. Good luck in the future and stay positive. X 😁

I was on adoport for first six months then changed to advagraf which is slow release I was a lot better on I was changed due to rejection.... About six months ago they tried me on azathioprine but after 2 weeks I begged them to put me back on advagraf which they did and I still on it now, but they have to keep a close eye on my kidneys ... It's common practice for them to see which meds are best for each individual and which ones cause the least damage
