Did tacrolimus give you itching?

Hey everyone. Did tacrolimus give you itching? Sometimes when my dose is increased I get itching and elevated liver function. Any of you experienced this?

THanks

@webiondev I had severe itching prior to the transplant but after surgery it was gone. I haven't experienced it again and I take prograf (tacrolimus) but a low dosage (1mg) every 12 hours. Maybe the low dosage has something to do with it?

@webiondev I took tacrolimus but never had itching from it. I had to get off of it because it was causing my creatinine to go high, even with drinking 80 - 100 ounces of fluid a day. I now take sirolimus.
