Over fatigue feeling plus tremors on hands
I discusses this with my doctor and he said it’s probably from my meds like
advagraf
-tacrolimus. I also got the BK virus from the transplanted kidney and my levels are getting higher. Is anyone else experiencing this? Also, I started losing my hair which is depressing as well.

HV88 Virus
Thankfully copies are low and now on 1mg of Sirolimus to keep copies low Taking 0.5
Advagraf
now as LFT's are still excellent and all well within range and the reduction has helped renal numbers dramatically. Anyone living with the HV88 virus?

Uric Acid
May I ask please if anyone who has been on tacrolimus (
Advagraf
) for a while, has suffered from excess uric acid.

Tacrolimus/Advagraf and Ginger
Has anyone ever had a doctor tell them they cannot have ginger while on Tacrolimus? When you search online for contraindications to Tacrolimus, it lists pomegranates, grapefruit, pomelo, star fruit and ginger. However, the medical information sheet I get from the pharmacy only says to avoid grapefruit

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.

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

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 ????

During and this period negotiations with manafacturers

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?

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.
