To my knowledge here in the UK they use MMF and Prograf. The unwanted side effect of MMF (Cellcept) is that it over suppresses the white blood cells and the will change to Steroids to alleviate that because steroids promote white cells. Mostly when there is some other underplaying problem. In my case I developed BKV. Steroids have some bad side effects is used over a long period.
After a long time of waiting an anonymous donor has arrived in my life.
Words cannot express my gratitude to this lady and my paired exchange wife donor making it all possible
