Prograf vs advagraf

My doctor mentionned that they might switch me to Advagraf instead of my Prograf. I was wondering if anyone has made the switch and seen a difference in the side effects? Like hair loss and tremors. Thank you and happy holidays! Amy

Immune suppressants?

I take 2 mg of Advagraf (slow relase) once a day. Others that i have met on the liver unit that were transplanted around the same time as me, December 2019, or later are prescribed Prograf and Adoport, both slow release. Curious to know why? Many thanks.

This Might be Important!

Dear All, I have been 'on' Advagraf (Tacrolimus) since, July 2013, when I had My Transplant. I WAS aware that Grapefruit, and it's Juice, could Affect the Absorption Rate of this Drug.

Post transplant tacrolimus doses

Just curious - husband had liver transplant 2014 and came home on 8mg which was reduced to 5mg and has since been taking the same amount of Advagraf - so 5 years later he is still on 5mg 🤔🤔🤔 his last bloods said it was below target range (4-10 I think) 🤷‍♀️ - has anyone else experienced this ????

6 weeks post transplant and all good

Meds - down to 5mg Prednisolone, 900mg Valgaciclovir until end of course, an AdCal and he seems stable on 6mg Advagraf. Nothing compared to the pretransplant pile of pills he had to take and soon it will be just the Tacs and vitamin.

Advagraf dosage

I reduce the dose of advagraf for 9 months after the transplant, but the level of tacrolimus does not decrease. I started with 9mg, but now I use only 5mg. Tacrolimus levels are around 11-12. My doctor recommends that I use only 3mg - is it not too small?

Sirolimus

Leeds are talking about putting me on this as my kidneys are not getting any better on advagraf, but I have heard a few bad things about this medication

Mycophenolate Mofetil–Induced Neutropenic Sepsis

I blamed it on my anti rejection meds Advagraf and MMF, but he wanted it check out. Following blood tests I was quickly diagnosed with Neuropenic Sepsis, where the White Blood Cells are extremely low, and my immune system at serious risk.

7 Months Post Transplant and started to falling to bits....

My new liver is doing great, and although they are keeping me on high advagraf levels (back to level I was on post transplant), everything seems to be going well in that direction.

Concerned or over protective??

However he is not feeling so good - his Advagraf has just been reduced from 8mg to 7mg so not sure if that has had any effect. He feels as though he has a cold, aching all over, diarrhea, itching and covered in a rash. His ankles are also swelling again.

Roller-coaster 🎢

And I am definitely putting down to the increase of my advagraf as it begins a few hours after I take them, keeps me up all night and then calms down just before my next lot are due.

Itching

Had to increase my advagraf from 0.5mg to 1mg about 2 weeks ago and the last week I have had an insane itch all over at first I thought it was fabric softener as I switched but I rewashed everything in my usual one and I still have it.

Liver Transplant - 2 Years On

Liver-wise I haven't had many problems since the transplant and I changed meds last year from Prograf to Advagraf. Started off at 4 mg of Prograf twice a day and now on Img Advagraf once a day (since Nov). The biggest problem I had was with Prograf side effect (ankle swelling).
