Hi @bosco 17 Being able to stop the anti-rejection meds would be wonderful for so many transplant patients who are required to take them for life after receiving a new organ.

The clinical study I’d referenced in a previous reply is closed but the good news is that I found more articles relating to on-going studies and currently used techniques that are allowing solid organ transplantees to no longer be dependent on the meds.

Here are a few of the articles I found. It looks very encouraging!

From one of your comments today, I see you’re down to .5mg daily of Tacrolimus. That is a very low dosage already. You were wondering about side effects. Do you feel you are experiencing some from the tacrolimus?
