I had severe hair loss from Tacrolimus. I started taking 5-10,000 mcg/day (highest recommended dosage). My hair gradually stopped falling out shortly thereafter. Since my Tac dosage has been reduced I now take 1,000 mcg biotin/day. My hair is healthy and growing nicely.
Be sure to stop taking biotin at least three days prior to labs, and a week prior if you are having thyroid tests (TSH), as it interferes with the lab results,

Hi @athenalee thanks so much! I purchased a bottle of the 5,000 mcg biotin. Did you take two tablets at the same time each day for a total of 10,000? Do you think the biotin helped or did you start to see your hair return back to normal when your Tac dosage was reduced? Also, thanks so much for letting me know to stop biotin days before lab work!!!
