Yes, vitamin C can be combined with Prograf (tacrolimus) and in standard doses (e.g. 200-500 mg per day) it is not considered dangerous.
Clinical studies indicate that vitamin C (even in combination with vitamin E) does not significantly alter tacrolimus blood levels. This is good news, because tacrolimus is a drug with a narrow therapeutic window (it is very important to maintain a constant level of tacrolimus).
However, it is worth being careful with high doses of vitamin C (above 1000 mg per day), as they can affect kidney function, which is important in people treated with tacrolimus. It is also important to avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they can significantly increase the concentration of Prograf in the blood.
