@knobhead - Good Morning and Welcome to Connect! With 7 years of transplant experience, I can understand your concern about the future with your transplanted organ. As for myself, I celebrated my 17th year with my liver and kidney transplant (Mayo Rochester 2009). I have been taking tacrolimus and cellcept during the entire time, and continue to do so with great success. Over time it is normal for the dosage to decrease, as it has for me. Everyone has different dosage requirements and our transplant team will continue to monitor and make adjustments as needed. As we age, our bodies naturally will require a smaller dosage amount.

Knobhead, what organ did you receive? Are you having any symptoms that are concerning to you?

@rosemarya I’m very well on my current dose but as you will probably know the drug affects kidney function and mine is pretty poor. I just wondered if anyone was in a lower dose than me as if that is the case I’d like to discuss the option of reducing my dose to protect my kidneys. What dose are you in after all that time?
