I m not sure about cellcept w/liver tx transplants -- a lot of people I have talked to who have had kidney tx aren t even on cellcept, they are on a drug called myfortic, which I think is cellcept in a different form. When is your doc starting you on cellcept? Some people have problems with it, b/c it can be harsh on the stomach - I felt a little sick to my stomach for about a 1/2 - 1 hr after taking it but only for the first week post tx, but I haven t had any side effects since and its been almost 5 months. I am on 1000 mg, twice a day. Prograf 0.5mg, 1mg, 5mg Hard Capsules - Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) - electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC) Prograf therapy requires careful monitoring by adequately qualified and equipped personnel. The medicinal product should only be prescribed, and changes in immunosuppressive therapy initiated, by physicians experienced in immunosuppressive therapy and the management of transplant patients.The recommended initial dosages presented below are intended to act solely as a guideline.

If clinical signs of rejection are apparent, alteration of the immunosuppressive regimen should be considered.Blood trough levels of tacrolimus should be monitored during the post-transplantation period.
