Abstract
The efficacy and safety of tacrolimus twice-a-day (BID) and once-a-day (QD) formulations are similar. However, the available information regarding the initiation and management of tacrolimus QD is sparse and practical information is lacking. A panel of French experts extensively reviewed the available literature on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, and safety in kidney transplantation and, based on their own day-to-day experience, provided the practitioners with practical guidelines for the daily use and management of tacrolimus QD in de novo initiation or early conversion.Entities:
