My only problem is the packaging. It takes me close to an hour to remove all the pills from its packet. Does anyone else have this problem?

Whoever designed the new packaging needs to be fired. It was hard enough opening the bubble packs before. Now it’s nearly impossible. Why can this not be prescribed like normal medication. Id like to survive my transplant without cutting myself trying to open the bubble pack

Taking 3 .5mg Zortress twice a day, 2 Cellcept 2 times a day, and 1 .5mg Prograf once a day. So far, working perfectly with no side effects. Blood tests looking great!

As I have read in other reviews, the packaging is difficult and time consuming. I have learned to cut along each pill from one end of the blister pack to the other then use my thumb nail to remove each pill. Still takes some time but much better for me. I take 16 tablets per day.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I am a liver transplant recipient. I was prescribed Zortress while still taking prograf for a period of 3 years. My immune system was suppressed to a point of total illness. Every germ possible attacked my body to the point of death. I made a emergency appointment with my doctor only to be vomiting by the time I got to his office. I had boils on my face with fever blisters covering my nose and mouth. My doctor took me off of Zortress immediately and put me on antibiotics and a inhaler. Read all presciption info including side effects and caution labels. Zortress can be fatal. Please discuss with your doctor if he listens your concerns with all medications.Read More Read Less
