Q: Immune suppressant drugs after kidney transplant

My father had had a kidney transplant for about 5 years now. He was using Cellcept since the surgery until recently he got very weak, lost appetite, had frequent diaarhea and lost a lot of weight. The doctor said that it was the long term usage of Cellcept that creating all these side effects.

So they switch to Imuran but this one really made him even more sick and his bone marrow started to produce less white and red blood cells. So the doctor had to stop this drug.

Right now we don't know what else will be good for him so far as immune suppressant drugs. He's very weak. He's 67 years old.

I belive my father might have had Predisone and Progaf already too.

Does anyone have any suggestion on any other drugs? Thank you so much!
