Throat infection on
Tacrolimus
. 5. Steroid responsive. Last week I’ve been prescribed another tablet, Mycophenolic acid (Ceptava)which I am really scared about taking this. Since taking this tablet, my whole body is aching like you do a workout and the next day your body starts aching.

Switching to Belatacept
Thanks to my amazing donor, I am 6 months post-transplant and my nephrologist is talking with me about switching from
tacrolimus
to belatacept. I have read there are more acute rejection episodes with belatacept but that it is better for the kidney long term.

Low WBC and goodness knows what else.
The first few months was pretty crummy as it was between having severe side effects of
tacrolimus
and prednisone *which I still have* and being ill with infections just because my immune system was shot as it was.

Experiences with Tacrolimus
Does anyone have experience with this drug that you wouldn't mind sharing. I'm interested to know: • how long it to took work • did it raise your potassium levels • did you have to go on a low potassium diet • did it raise your blood sugar Or any other experiences you'd like to share. I can't find many

Trying to move forward.
My
tacrolimus
levels are somewhat stable, but every week or 2 my team has to either up or lower my dose (currently 3mg in the morning and 4mg at night) which makes my tremors worse.

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?

Transplant Failure due to Tacrolimus
Creatinine started rising after an yr and reached 2.2, then biopsy was done which revealed side effect of
tacrolimus
. Doctor reduced
tacrolimus
but creatinine continued to rise and reached 18 when I started plasmapheresis and dialysis. Has anyone recovering from such condition?

Movin' on up- 6.5 weeks
I've also gone down on my
tacrolimus
, so I'm hopeful that my side effects will improve soon. Currently, I'm still having got flashes, mild insomnia, mood swings and tremors.

Tacrolimus for steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome
Our next step is to try
tacrolimus
but we are nervous considering a possible side effect is kidney damage. Has anyone had any experience with using
tacrolimus
in treating steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome?
