Hi @bosco17 😊
I am a kidney transplant patient and I was told that I need two immune suppression meds on board to protect against rejection. I think a liver transplant is different. Currently I take Cellcept and Tacrolimis with a little food and my only real side effect is hair loss from the Tacrolimus. (When I was on 1000mg bid of Cellcept it caused neutropenia, leukopenia and elevated liver enzymes. I was always running to the cancer center for procrit shots to bring up the WBC). At 500mg bid Cellcept you shouldn't have that problem. But if you are having GI problems, they will probably suggest Myfortic over Cellcept. You mentioned .50mg Tacrolimis once a day which I have read posts from liver transplant patients mention as a popular option on Connect (it is a daily low dose). Which med is your transplant team suggesting? Are they leaning towards the .50mg Tacrolimis? What has been your personal experience with these drugs and dosages so far?
