Good to know as I was worried about the opposite effect of taking Tacrolimus. Reading into further articles mentioned I get the impression Tacrolimus is twice as strong as Cyclosporin for inhibiting certain viruses. I will bring this up at my Mayo appointment, if it isn't cancelled, and let everyone know.

@jerrynord I would love to know if my immunosuppressant, Sirolimus, has the same effect.
I did read in studies that people taking immunosuppressants did not seem to have a greater risk if they contract COVID-19.
