Asked for male, 37 years old from Mumbai

Is it safe to change tacrolimus brand from tacrograf 2 mg to vingraf 2 mg for kidney transplant patient. Tacrograf is too costly and unaffordable sometimes. Hence the query.

Dr. Vivek Ruhela

Nephrologist•Dehradun

Yes, you can change it. Every brand may have different bioavailability of drug therefor you need to check tac levels a bit frequently in early period of change to adjust the drug dosing.
Thanks.

You can change brand but this may lead to lower blood levels of tacrolimus and may cause rejection. So consult your transplant nephrologist and adjust dose as per tacrolimus levels. There after you can continue with that brand.
