Tacrolimus has originally been registered as a twice-daily formulation (Prograf, Tac BID), although a once-daily formulation (Advagraf, Tac QD) is also available. A reduced intrapatient variability of Tac Cmin, a surrogate marker for 24-hour drug exposure (AUC0-24), has been suggested.

We investigated whether the cytochrome P450 3A5*3 (CYP3A5*3) genotype affects tacrolimus pharmacokinetics and the risk of acute cellular rejection in living-donor liver transplant patients in Japan. Between July 2004 and June 2011, we enrolled 410 living-donor liver transplant patients receiving

Renal dysfunction after non-renal transplantation in adult tacrolimus-treated transplant patients is well documented. Little is known about its prevalence in children. Age-related changes in both disposition and effect of tacrolimus as well as renal function may preclude extrapolation of adult

British journal of clinical pharmacology, 78(5), 996-1004 (2014-05-09)
The immunosuppressant tacrolimus is usually administered orally. When this is not feasible, other routes of administration may be useful. Previous research suggested that tacrolimus may be applied sublingually or rectally. Pharmacokinetic data are sparse. The aim of this study was
