One of the side effects of this drug is hearing abnormalities. I'd go see the doctor - just be safe
Tinnitus is associated with the use of Prograf. There are many other medications that can cause tinnitus, such as Aspirin in high doses, aminoglycoside antibiotics and high doses of loop diuretics like Furosemide. I don't know your other medications, but they should also be reviewed. Several medical conditions are also associated with tinnitus. Let your heart transplant doctor know this. You may need hearing testing and evaluation by an Otolarynologist. Good luck.
For post kidney transplants, what is your dose of Prograf? I am just curious as to what people are taking of Prograf. My dosage changes often. My transplant team says this is normal. I am just curious as to what other people are taking. Mine seems to change according to how much Cellcept I take also. My stomach is very sensitive to the Cellcept. I'm having all sorts of stomach and intestinal problems on it, so they are cutting my dosage down on that. The less Cellcept I take, the higher my Prograf dosage seems to go up. Just curious.. Thanks!
my brother is a kidney trasplant patient too.. he's taking cellcept and neoral.. i have not heard of prograf. the dosages of the drugs are calculated on how much you weigh.. i think the reason why they advised you to take a higher dose of prograf is to compensate for the lowered dose of your cellcept.
The effects of prograf pill after many years? My mom has been taking Prograf for 12 years because of a liver transplant. What would be the effects physically after taking it for many years?Dose anybody know?
Using Prograf may increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer, especially skin cancer. The risk may be higher in people who are treated over long periods of time with drugs that weaken the immune system. Talk with your doctor about your individual risk.Avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (sunlamps or tanning beds). Use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) and wear protective clothing if you must be out in the sun.To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested on a regular basis. Your kidney or liver function may also need to be tested. It is important that you not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor. Your mum's doctor will determine whether it is safer to take the drug (and not reject the liver - she can't live without one) and be watchful for adverse effects or cease the drug and lose the liver. Most people do pretty well and after 12 years seems your mum is one of those that does well.
will lisinopril interfere with prograf organ rejection medication? im wondering if i can take this with prograf
They don't interact however they can be detrimental together if you have any kidney impairment so monitoring of your kidney function and electrolytes may need to be done periodically. To the previous poster who mentioned taking one of these meds during pregnancy I hope you were referring to the Prograf because lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor and is contraindicated in pregnancy as it is known to cause fetal death.
is 17.5 high for your white cell count to be? Esp when you are immunosuppressed on Prograf? What could cause this apart from infection or rejection.?
17.5 is definitely high. Normal wbc levels are approx. 4-9. If you are on immunosuppressives you should not be mounting such a high level. See a doctor this sounds like a complex case. WBCs indicate infection or inflammation, in really high levels it can indicate a blood cancer or bone marrow dysfunction. Also you may be on a steroid which can increase the wbc count.
talk with any one who stopped rejection therapy after kidney transplant (prograf)? I stopped using prograf and steroiids after 10years post kidney transplant and my creatinine is 1.2i noticed many articles about prograf harming transplanted kidney so i self weaned from prograf over a few months and have suffered no consequences. i would like to talk to others like meI have been off prograf nearly 3-years and my current creatinine is 1.2 and all other blood works are in normal range
Get ready to resume dialysis, which I am sure you remember wasn't all that great. PLEASE discuss this with your physician, ASAP.
I don't recommend that. I would seriously discuss with your physician.
Was this from a living donor that was a relative? Just curious.I also think that you should check w/ the transplant team; for one thing, your experience might be very useful to them and to others. We definitely need something besides Prograf; it's not good for the kidney. However, I'll stay on mine since I'm doing so well. (Kidney/pancreas recipient in 2005).You might want to check transplantcafe also, since it's full of transplant recipients and even has a group for people on Prograf.
Prograf (tacrolimus) how to donate? My uncle is back on dialysis, and he has lots of unopened Prograf. Where is a good place to donate them? I know they are expensive, so I don't want to just throw them away.
Can you contact the social worker at your uncle's transplant center? Normally, it is illegal to transfer prescriptions, but I have passed on some expensive drugs myself sometime, and you are correct - that's a drug that's over $2000 retail for a month's supply.. And if they are in sealed bottles, that might make a difference.
