I was put on Myfortic and tacrolimus right after my liver transplant. I had horrible diarrhea and headaches. My doctors said it was the Myfortic and switched me off of it and replaced with Imuran, which I have taken before for my autoimmune disorders. Now I am on tacrolimus and Imuran. No more diarrhea. Still get headaches some nights, but not all as before. I am reaching my 1 year in a month.

Hi @ssapp1 😊
This is the first time I have heard about the drug Imuran as a replacement for Myfortic. It's wonderful to know that the "medical tool box" is filled with several meds that will do the job! Maybe they will discuss both options of Imuran or Myfortic with @bosco17 during the doc visit about Mycophenolate GI issues. Congratulations on your one year anniversary!!
