Anyone take prednisone with tacolimus?

I’ve been on both but fairly recent liver transplant in 9/18/2023. Mine is adjusting just fine and I’m on the taper down of prednisone (prednisone is a strange one though because it affects everyone differently). I can tell you be very careful to eat when you’re taking these two meds together because it can affect the tachro levels. Mine is constantly being adjusted.

Jackie, can you tell me more about taking tacro/envarsus XR together with prednisone? You stated it affects the tacro levels. I am one year out from kidney transplant and my tacro levels go up and down all the time and it is very stressful. With an increase, I get anxious, shaky, tremors, foggy brain a bit, hard to focus and concentrate, hard to make decisions. But I have no choice as I have to take the envarsus (tacro). Do you take the prednisone at a different time than the envarsus (tacro)? I just got reduced to 2.5mg prednisone from 5mg. I take 2.25mg envarsus XR extended release. Blessed holiday, BB
