Stevep replied to Kristy's discussion 'What is an average "normal" for Prograf/TAC levels?' in the group Prograf

"Mine is around 4.5. Too high of a Prograf or Tacrolimus level can destroy your kidneys. Be careful. Read the precautions and side effects."

At 11:21pm on September 20, 2011, Laurel said…: It sounds like you are doing well. I am taking more meds than you. I got my transplant at UCSF. I am taking 3 mg prograf a day. 1mg prednisone and 2000 of Celcept. Something for my stomach.plus an antibiotic three times a week. I got my liver 5 days after you. It is good to be alive. I never felt sick until the operation. You sound like you were pretty sick. I have Hep C which caused liver cancer after about 25-30 years. i was a pretty hard partier too but I quit at the age of 33. I was in rehab and it finally worked. i am sure I would be dead by now.
