Hair loss after transplant, probably Tacrolimus: Anyone change meds?

I am 1 year post liver transplant and started losing my hair a couple of weeks after transplant. I ordered the shampoo and conditioner called Routine. I used it for about 2-3 weeks and the hair loss just about stopped. After 3 or 4 months my hair started to fill back in. My Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate meds are quite high, as I went into rejection in February, but my hair continues to stay in good shape. It is expensive , but a small amount about the size of a nickle in the palm of my hand is plenty. My first bottle lasted almost 6 months.

I am 4 years post transplant. I eat out all the time. My husband passed away and it's just me it's hard to cook for one. I'm just carful to eat nothing raw and make sure everything is well cooked and stay away from the obvious, one thing I didn't know but found out that ceaser dressing is made with raw eggs , so that bring said do your research before you order

I take both and also take Biotin daily with biotin shampoo and all my hair came back I would suggest taking it

I am on Tacrolimus and Prednisone after my Kidney Transplant. I researched Prednisone, and it seems to be the cause of all my hair-loss problems along with others such as diabetes. Are you taking prednisone also? If so, look that drug up and be surprised.

I never heard that, quite the opposite. However the hair loss caused by tacrolimus is reversible with dose reduction. Of course, hair loss is a multi factorial event, could be for a variety of different reasons.

I ordered the one that is in a white bottle with a blue cap. 500mg.

I was losing hair also. I think mine was due to taking imuran. I am 38 years post transplant. I have a lot of issues with N skin cancers. A lot of years on all of the transplant meds. All have been easily removed. My dermatologist suggested I start taking Niacinamide for my skin. After taking it for around 3 months, my hair completely stop falling out. I take a tablet in the morning and 1 at night. My transplant doctors told me it was OK for me to take it. Still a good idea to ask your doctors about it. My hairdresser could not believe there was no hair in the sink. She has told a lot of her clients about it. I order mine on Amazon.

@mannism, The tacrolimus ointment is sometimes prescribed for repigmentation due to vitiligo. When I inquired about using if for my vitiligo several years ago, my dermatologist did not want me to use it because he was concerned that it might interfere with my stable tacrolimus levels of my immunosuppressioj for my liver and kidney transplant.

If you are a transplant recipient, please check with your medical team in case there is any effect. I decided not to proceed with using it.
How is your hair growth? How lonfg have you used it, and how often?

Tacrolimus is supposed to support hair growth. That is the ointment. I never had an issue with it.
