Fast Tacrolimus Metabolism?

I want to add my thoughts from my experience as a transplant recipient to this discussion. Our medications start at a higher dose and over time they are reduced as our body adjusts to out new organ. I would like to say that each of us can be at a different dosage at any time. There is not a one-dose-fits-all. And there is not a standard measurement of timer for dosage to be changed. So much depends on pretransplant medical history, body size, body reaction, organ match, etc.

@patrickski98, Your doctors will look at your labs, all of them, as part of their decision for when/or if to make adjustments. Life as a transplant recipient is a journey, and your transplant team will provide the directions along the way.

Thank you very much for your response. I assumed that the dosage would eventually be reduced and I do realize that it will not be the same for everyone. Good luck to you in your ongoing journey.
