Tacrolimus is used for kidney transplant as well as membranous nephropathy. It takes a little time for protein to reduce. Just be patient, and follow the instructions given by your nephrologist. You should be fine.

Hello Ruth I am sure they gave you a steroid before you started tacrolimus, an immunomodulator.You would have to use the medications for atleast 6-8 weeks to see any improvement at all.
Thank you

Tacrolimus ointment helps reduce inflammatory skin reactions. It is prescribed for people with moderate-to-severe eczema, usually as an alternative to other treatments such as steroid creams or ointments. It is applied topically (on to the skin) to reduce symptoms such as inflammation, redness and itching.
You cannot use it for the penis foreskin and above all, it is wrong and unwanted to think that the foreskin is tight can be softened by any cream.

Hello.
Tacrolimus level depends upon a lot of factors. In patients with high risk transplant, we tend to keep Tacrolimus level at a higher range. In general, if everything else is going well, level should be around 6.
But again, it depends upon a lot of factors and the nephrologist you r following should be able to guide you better.

It should never been used on face first. It is never meant for face. It will make your skin thin and light sensitive. Please consult a qualified dermatologist with a valid MD degree in your city. Please do not consult unqualified people or pharmacist or quacks who tell you that these cream helps.
Treatment 1) use Rheacalm cream twice daily (company-Ducray)
2) Tacrolimus lotion 0.03% once daily at night on face 3) stop Clop G.
