I recently had a kidney transplant and my doctor prescribed Sandimmune 50mg/ml Ampules for Injection. I know it's supposed to help prevent my body from rejecting the new kidney, but I'm a bit worried about the side effects. I've read about things like high blood pressure, kidney problems, and even some serious brain issues. I'm seeing a lot of scary symptoms online. Has anyone else been through this? What was your experience like? My doctor said not to worry, but I'm just looking for some reassurance or advice from people who have been in a similar situation. My transplant went smoothly, but I'm super anxious about this medication.

I've been on Cyclosporine 25mg for a few months now after my kidney transplant, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar side effects. I've had some dizziness, headaches, and increased hair growth. My doctor assured me these are common, but I'd love to hear from others who are managing these side effects. Also, any tips on preventing gum changes and mouth sores would be appreciated! How has everyone else's experience with this medication been? Let's discuss the pros, cons, and any helpful advice you might have.
