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.
