Kidney Patient Guide

... GP says speak to your renal team! Personally I think it’s all too much of a coincidence not to be related to transplant and meds, he is on MMF and Adoport? He was also put on iron tablets a couple of weeks ago. I will be very appreciative of any replies. Thank you

My switch to Adoport was seamless. Hoping that others ahve the same experience!

Adoport is not a generic. It is another branded tacrolimus, just made by a different company. Your transplant nurses are correct tacrolimus should not be prescribed generically as you could be given different brands with their ...

My unit have just told me that they will be switching everyone from Prograf to the generic tacro Adoport. Whilst I am happy to take (and have!) any generic paracetamol, antibiotics etc I was told by the transplant nurse when first transplanted that Prograf was the best ...

Hi all Just wondering if any one out there has any advice regarding hair loss. I'm now one year post transplant and still on quite a high dose of Adoport 8mg twice a day, my hairs getting quite threadbare, just wondering if any of you out there have experienced the same and could recommend anything. ...

... 2 1/2 years ago and I’ve never looked back. I’m back to living life as normal. I feel “normal” what ever that is. My anti rejection drugs (Adoport and prednisone) don’t cause me any problems. I am aware I am slightly more prone to infections but it’s not a huge problem. I’m sensible. I ...

Hi - thanks for replies and help. I decided not to change. Kidney doing well so I just felt as Rik said 'why rock the boat'. They have reduced my cellcept from 2000 a day to 1500 so I'm happy with that.

Envarsus is clearly a generic version of Tacrolimus. I haven't come across it yet. There's another that's commonly used now in the UK, which is Adoport . This ( has been discussed here a bit before ). I was changed to Adoport on the day of my second transplant in 2012. For the next few days, my ...

Hi

Any Transplant patients on the extended release Prograf please? Thank you


[Mod: subject changed: added [and Envarsus/Adoport] to reflect later conversation in this thread]

To go back a couple of subjects - I have spoken to a specialist pharmacist about Adoport and whether you can take it out of its foil and put it in boxes. Apparently not. It is too unstable to be out of its wrapper for a few days before being swallowed. It should ...

I do mine once a week, doesn't seem to have done any harm. The Adoport seems to cope fine - I do get rid of any that have got wet though.

Talking about tacrolimus doses and seeing the photos of pill boxes reminded me of a question I haven't been able to get an answer to. I take Adoport. On the patient information it says to take out of the Packaging just before taking. (I guess this is because of a worry about water absorption ...

... to these? Has anyone been told not to use them? The internet is telling me they're safe overall but I just want to double check. I'm currently on: Adoport (Tacrolimus) 2mg Myfortic 180mg Sodium Bicarbonate 1 gram Aspirin 75mg Omeprazole 20mg

... it without. There's lots of factors, body mass, other health issues, why you've been transplanted, size of the transplanted organ. I'm down to (Adoport) 2mg am / 3mg night, from maybe 5 and 5 at the beginning? So not a massive difference. Also on Adoport / Tac. and how you absorb the drug will ...
