Hi @virginiefrance 😊
Congrats on your lung transplant! I am not familiar with the generic version of Prograf that you mentioned. I am also not familiar with the health insurance rules in France regarding generics.
But I can tell you that a friend experienced "the mandatory switch to generic brand" to save money (for the insurance companies) and it did not work well.
The good news is that my friend's doctor appealed to the insurance company for her, siting the adverse reactions caused by the generic and the brand name was reinstated as her prescription (after her unsuccessful attempt at the generic). Have you reported your adverse symptoms to your doctor since starting the new generic brand drug?

Thank you very much for your warm answer: in France we have a lot of flaws! But we all have a completely 100% free health system for people suffering from chronic diseases: cancers, diabetes, transplants, etc.: all drugs are free, even long-term hospitalizations too and of course transplants. I will therefore ask my pulmonologist to change my treatment.
Thank you again for taking your time to answer me ☺️🙏very good day to you.
