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

Posted by hello1234 @hello1234, Mar 26, 2022

In the beginning, my hair loss seemed minimal and I took Biotin supplements. Now, approaching my 2nd anniversary for my kidney transplant, my hair is coming out in gobs. I believe it's probably the Tacronlimis. If you had this problem, what did you do to solve it? Rogaine for Women, Hairmax laser comb, change your medication, or something else? Please let me know your experience (I think I am going bald).
Many thanks!

The transplant pharmacist told my transplant team that the Biotin was too taxing on my liver with all of the other meds that I was on. I also had an issue taking Turmeric, because it boosts your immune system. Double check with your transplant pharmacist prior to taking Biotin or any other OTC meds or supplements. There is an oil from Origin that helps grow back hair that is atopic, so it won't interfere with any of the meds that you are taking.
