For Rejection Prophylaxis "Thank God this came along! Tacrolimus was literally killing my donor kidney, and I was almost to the point of going back on dialysis! It's so much better from a numbers standpoint. Once every 30-day infusion via IV at a center that takes exactly 30 minutes every time vs. a monthly varying number of pills every 12 hours, depending on crappy CVS Specialty to get it right and get it on time - never happens, all my eGFR, UA, Comprehensive lab results bounced back into the 'at least acceptable within a few weeks, and now ALL my lab numbers are in the normal-for non-transplant folks range. I feel so much better since ditching Prograf (after being on it for 4 years). Hardly any side effects (other than feeling better) compared to Prograf's endless list. Just seem a little tired for about a day after the infusion; the rest of the month it's just GREAT!"
