Tacrolimus "I take it because I need it. If I did not have a transplant, I would not want to take it because I have gained weight and have edema."

Tacrolimus "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."

Tacrolimus "No problems of liver rejection from when I use Prograf (Tacrolimus), but I have some collateral effects like alopecia and tremors in my hands, and sometimes I feel buzzing in my ears. 9/10!"

"Prograf seems to have worked since my liver transplant 4 years ago, but it has also kept me broke, at $1,641 for 60 5 mg caps. I'm grateful to be alive but not happy about what it has cost me."
