Has anyone switched from prograf to tacrolimus? Did you experience any side effects?

I am not having luck with funding for the prograf. So I may have to switch to the generic. Just hoping to hear if anyone has done this and what I can expect.

    I have always been on tacrolumis. No real side effects but food precautions and I stay away from pets the best I can. It is very difficult these days, everyone it seems has a fake service animal or walk their dogs without or on a long lead. I just stay home where it is safe.

    In my experience and in hearing things from other patients the side effects of some immunos are sometimes more noticeable with 12-hour dosing vs the extended release 24-hour dosing, so keep this is mind no matter what you do.

    Switched for about 5-10 years. There is no any difference.

    Best wishes!
