In more than 100 patients taking FK-506 for up to eight months, the rate of organ rejection was only one-sixth as high as in those using cyclosporine. Side effects were minimal, though long-term consequences remain unknown. The Food and Drug Administration calls the preliminary research "very exciting," but approval for general use may be years away...
