Prograf (tacrolimus) for Organ Transplant -- Rejection Prophylaxis: I have taken Prograf since my liver transplant eight years ago. Very few side effects. Nothing compared to dying with liver disease. Very blessed from the drug and my donor Spencer.

Prograf (tacrolimus) for Organ Transplant -- Rejection Prophylaxis: I've been taking Prograf for the last four and a half months since my liver transplant. The dosage has been reduced quite a bit since transplant. I have occasional tingling in my hands. Considering the fact that it's keeping me alive I have no complaints about the tingling. I'm just careful to wash my hands and always carry anti-bacterial hand cleaner with me because of the risk of infection due to a suppressed immune system.

Prograf (tacrolimus) for Organ Transplant -- Rejection Prophylaxis: So far so good. Dosage has been reduced tremendously since my liver transplant 7 months ago. I have had very few side effects and the capsules are small and easy to swallow. I started at 18 caps /day and now down to 3 /day. Be sure to follow your doctors orders and take your medicines on time. I use a Timex Datalink watch and set 2 alarms for each dose to reduce the chance of missing a dose.

Prograf (tacrolimus) for Organ Transplant -- Rejection Prophylaxis: Liver transplant 5 years ago. No rejection. Generally confortable drug. I have experienced small skin cancers easily treated, no problem. I itch from time to time not objectional and I don't blame it on the drug. Generally thankful for this drug. I am careful about infections because of reduced immunity. Thank you.
