The dose for Prograf (Tacrolimus) is decided on blood concentration - i.e via a blood test. The concentration of Prograf in your bloodsteam is very variable between patients, as it's based on bodyweight, whether you eat at the same time as taking the drug, what you eat, what other drugs you are on and other factors. It's not possible to generalise what dosage you should expect to be on two months post-transplant, except that the dose will still be quite high at this stage. (since you're only two months post-transplant). I'm not familiar with Cellcept in the long term - tried it a couple of times and it didn't work for me.

What if the kidney transplantation is not working?
You can possibly die because your body can not flush out all the waste and urine. Alternate answer: If a kidney transplant fails the patient does have other options but action should probably be taken as quickly as possible. The failure of a kidney transplant means that the patient will either have to have another transplant or they will have to go back on dialysis until something else can be done. People can live normally with only one kidney.
