@8899, I am not familiar with your health situation, although I do take tacrolimus for my liver ans kidney transplant. As a transplant recipient, I am very concerned about your deteriorating kidney function along with the health of your liver.
What are your doctors saying about the positive effects that they hope to achieve by changing your medication? Have they hinted at how long until you realize good results? How are you being monitored?

Please accept my virtual hug as I send my thoughts and hopes to you.

But 5000 mg. This time.my dr. Offiice will not change the amy. Of tacrolimus...take 4 mg a day...i understand how important the relationship is between that n kidneys. My kidney numbers r usually 48...numbers change due to age, i get
that....have a great day
