I was on Prograf after ATG, and I also had C Difficile 3x and was finally treated with vancomycin. I lost most of my hair. I wasn't sure if it was from the ATG/prograf, the C Diff or the vancomycin. I had to get a wig. You can get nice ones these days. At first I went to a specialty cancer wig store but they were so rude. So then I found a lady who sells them out of her house in my city, and went there. Not only were the wigs nicer, but they were about 1/5 the price.

Anyway, my hair started growing back before I quit the prograf, so I don't think it was that. I wore a wig for about 6 months until my hair thickened up enough to cut it in layers that looked normal again.

Nobody had ever heard of prograf making anyone lose their hair, but it is listed as one of the side effects.
