Dosage Modifications

CYP3A5*1 allele

  • African-American patients, compared to Caucasian patients, may need to be titrated to higher dosages to attain comparable trough concentrations
  • ~80% of the African-American patients are carriers of the active, wild type CYP3A5*1 allele, resulting in a higher rate of tacrolimus clearance because of rapid metabolism

Coadministration with CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors

  • Dosage adjustment of Envarsus XR may be necessary
  • Monitor tacrolimus trough concentrations ≥2 times on separate days during first week after initiation of dosing and after any change in dosage, after a change in coadministration of CYP3A inducers and/or inhibitors

Renal impairment

  • Use lower end of dosing range
  • Monitor renal function and adjust dose according to whole blood concentrations and tolerability

Hepatic impairment

  • Mild: No dosage adjustment required
  • Moderate: Monitor whole blood concentrations and adjust dose accordingly
  • Severe (mean Child-Pugh score >10): Mean clearance of tacrolimus was substantially lower compared with normal hepatic function; dosage reduction recommended; administer 80% of preconversion daily dose of immediate release dosage form when converting from tacrolimus immediate release to extended release

Dosing Considerations

Capsules and granules are not interchangeable or substitutable with other tacrolimus extended-release products; owing to the rate of absorption following administration an extended-release tacrolimus is not equivalent to immediate-release tacrolimus drug product

Under- or overexposure to tacrolimus may result in graft rejection or other serious adverse reactions

African-American patients may need to be titrated to higher dosages to attain comparable trough concentrations compared to Caucasian patients

Monitor serum potassium

Dosing Considerations

When converting between Prograf granules and Prograf capsules, the total daily dose should remain the same

Prograf capsules and granules are not interchangeable or substitutable with other tacrolimus extended-release products; owing to the rate of absorption following administration an extended-release tacrolimus is not equivalent to immediate-release tacrolimus drug product

Under- or overexposure to tacrolimus may result in graft rejection or other serious adverse reactions

Do not use without supervision of a physician with experience in immunosuppressive therapy

African-American patients may need to be titrated to higher dosages to attain comparable trough concentrations compared to Caucasian patients

IV formulation

  • Intravenous use is recommended for patients who cannot tolerate oral formulations, and conversion from IV to PO tacrolimus is recommended as soon as oral therapy can be tolerated to minimize the risk of anaphylactic reactions that occurred with injectables containing castor oil derivatives
  • Patients receiving the injection should be under continuous observation for at least the first 30 minutes following the start of the infusion and at frequent intervals thereafter
  • If signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis occur, stop the infusion
  • Aqueous epinephrine solution and a source of oxygen should be available at the bedside

Adjust oral dose according to clinical response and whole blood trough concentration

  • Pediatric kidney, liver, or heart transplant recipients: Prograf trough level (months 1-12): 5-20 ng/mL
  • Pediatric lung transplant recipients: Prograf trough level (weeks 1-2: 10-20 ng/mL)

  • Pediatric lung transplant recipients: Prograf trough level (week 2 to month 12: 10-15 ng/mL)

  • Lung transplant recipients with cystic fibrosis
    • May require higher doses to achieve target trough concentration owing to lower oral bioavailability
    • Monitor and adjust dose accordingly

            Warnings

            Black Box Warnings

            Serious infections and malignancies

            • Increased risk for developing serious infections and malignancies, including lymphoma and skin malignancies, with tacrolimus or other immunosuppressants that may lead to hospitalization or death

            Increased mortality in female liver transplant patients

            • Astagraf XL
            • Increased mortality in female transplant recipients was observed in clinical trial of liver transplantation; use of extended release formulation in liver transplantation is not recommended

            Experienced physician

            • Only healthcare providers experienced in immunosuppressive therapy and management of organ transplant patients should prescribe the drug; patients therapy should be managed in facilities equipped and staffed with laboratory and supportive medical resources; healthcare provider responsible for maintenance therapy should have complete information required for follow up of patient

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity to tacrolimus or any component of the formulation, including castor oil (Prograf)

            Cautions

            Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis reported with injection formulation, which contains polyoxyl 60 hydrogenated castor oil (HCO-60), a castor oil derivative; limit IV use to patients unable to take orally; monitor patient for 30 min after initiation of infusion and then at frequent intervals; discontinue infusion if anaphylaxis occurs; transition patient from IV to oral dosing as soon as patient can tolerate oral administration

            Increased risk of infections and lymphoma, including latent virus activation (eg, BK virus-induced nephropathy)

            Patients receiving immunosuppressants are at increased risk of developing bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoal infections, including opportunistic infections; these infections may lead to serious, including fatal, outcomes; serious viral infections reported include, cytomegalovirus infections; CMV seronegative transplant patients who receive an organ from a CMV seropositive donor are at higher risk of developing CMV viremia and CMV disease; monitor for the development of infection and adjust the immunosuppressive regimen to balance the risk of rejection with the risk of infection (see Black Box Warnings)

            Medication errors (eg, substitution and dispensing errors, between tacrolimus immediate-release products and tacrolimus extended-release products) reported outside the U.S; which led to serious adverse reactions such as graft rejection, or other adverse reactions due to under-or over-exposure to tacrolimus; not interchangeable or substitutable for tacrolimus extended-release tablets, tacrolimus immediate-release capsules or tacrolimus for oral suspension; changes between tacrolimus immediate-release and extended-release dosage forms must occur under physician supervision

            Hypertension may occur; may treat with antihypertensives that are non-potassium-sparing diuretics; concurrent use of calcium channel blockers may require tacrolimus dosage adjustment

            Mild-to-severe hyperkalemia may occur; avoid use of potassium sparing diuretics

            Myocardial hypertrophy reported (reversible with dose reduction or discontinuation)

            QT prolongation reported; consider obtaining electrocardiograms and monitoring electrolytes periodically during treatment in patients with congestive heart failure, bradyarrhythmias, patients taking antiarrhythmic medications or other medicinal products that lead to QT prolongation, and those with electrolyte disturbances, including hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or hypocalcemia

            Cases of pure red-cell aplasia reported; if this is diagnosed, consider discontinuing tacrolimus

            Gastrointestinal perforation; all reported cases were considered a complication of transplant surgery or accompanied by infection, diverticulum, or malignant neoplasm

            Increased risk of malignancy is related to intensity/duration of therapy; limit or avoid sun and ultraviolet light exposure; use appropriate sun protection; post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder related to EBV infection reported in immunosuppressed organ transplant patients; risk highest in young children

            African-Americans may need to be titrated to higher dosages to achieve the target tacrolimus concentrations

            Graft rejection and other serious adverse effects have resulted from medication errors with extended release dosage form; patients and caregivers are advised to recognize appearance extended release tablets

            Monitor blood glucose; new onset of diabetes after transplants reported

            Can cause acute or chronic nephrotoxicity in transplant patients due to vasoconstrictive effect on renal vasculature, toxic tubulopathy and tubular-interstitial effects; acute renal impairment associated with tacrolimus toxicity can result in high serum creatinine, hyperkalemia, decreased secretion of urea and hyperuricemia; usually reversible; monitor renal function; consider dosage reduction

            Neurotoxicity including risk of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) reported; monitor for neurologic abnormalities; reduce dosage or discontinue

            Thrombotic microangiopathy

            • Cases of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), including hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), reported may have a multifactorial etiology
            • Risk factors for TMA that can occur in transplant patients include, for example, severe infections, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch, use of calcineurin inhibitors and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors; these risk factors may, either alone or combined, contribute to risk of TMA.
            • In patients with signs and symptoms of TMA, consider tacrolimus as a risk factor. Concurrent use of tacrolimus and mTOR inhibitors may contribute to the risk of TMA

            Posttransplant diabetes mellitus

            • Risk of posttransplant diabetes mellitus, especially in black and Hispanic patients; may occur in patients without pretransplant history of diabetes mellitus
            • Insulin dependence may be reversible
            • Black patients may require higher doses in kidney transplant
            • Monitor blood glucose frequently
            • Discontinue cyclosporine 24 hours before starting tacrolimus
            • Combination immunosuppressant therapy

            Drug interactions overview

            • Use with strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers: a rapid, sharp rise in tacrolimus levels reported after co-administration with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, clarithromycin, despite an initial reduction of tacrolimus dose; early and frequent monitoring of tacrolimus whole blood trough levels for occurrence of adverse reactions, including QT prolongation recommended
            • Concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers may increase metabolism of tacrolimus, leading to lower whole blood trough concentrations and greater risk of rejection
            • Not for use with sirolimus; associated with an excess mortality, graft loss, and hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT); the concomitant administration of sirolimus (2 mg per day) in heart transplant patients associated with increased risk of renal function impairment, wound healing complications, and insulin-dependent post-transplant diabetes mellitus
            • Use caution with concurrent administration of nephrotoxic agents, in patients with elevated serum creatinine and tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations greater than recommended range, consider dosage reduction or temporary interruption of tacrolimus administration; risk for nephrotoxicity may increase when drug is concomitantly administered with CYP3A inhibitors (by increasing tacrolimus whole blood concentrations) or drugs associated with nephrotoxicity (eg, aminoglycosides, ganciclovir, amphotericin B, cisplatin, nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors)
            • When tacrolimus is used concurrently with other known nephrotoxic drugs, monitor renal function and tacrolimus blood concentrations, and adjust dose of both tacrolimus and/or concomitant medications during concurrent use
            • Avoid use of live vaccines during treatment with tacrolimus
            • Inactivated vaccines noted to be safe for administration after transplantation may not be sufficiently immunogenic during treatment

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            There is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to drug during pregnancy; the transplantation pregnancy registry international (TPRI) is a voluntary pregnancy exposure registry that monitors outcomes of pregnancy in female transplant recipients and those fathered by male transplant recipients exposed to immunosuppressants including tacrolimus; healthcare providers are encouraged to advise their patients to register by contacting the Transplantation Pregnancy Registry International at 1-877-955-6877 or https://www.transplantpregnancyregistry.org/

            Tacrolimus can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman; data from postmarketing surveillance and TPRI suggest that infants exposed to tacrolimus in utero are at a risk of prematurity, birth defects/congenital anomalies, low birth weight, and fetal distress; advise pregnant women of potential risk to fetus; administration of oral tacrolimus to pregnant rabbits and rats throughout the period of organogenesis was associated with maternal toxicity/lethality, and an increased incidence of abortion, malformation and embryofetal death at clinically relevant doses (0.5 to 6.9 times the recommended clinical dose range [0.2 to 0.075 mg/kg/day], on a mg/m2 basis)

            Risks during pregnancy are increased in organ transplant recipients; the risk of premature delivery following transplantation is increased; pre-existing hypertension and diabetes confer additional risk to the pregnancy of an organ transplant recipient; pre-gestational and gestational diabetes are associated with birth defects/congenital anomalies, hypertension, low birth weight and fetal death; cholestasis of pregnancy (COP) was reported in 7% of liver or liver-kidney (LK) transplant recipients, compared with approximately 1% of pregnancies in the general population; however, COP symptoms resolved postpartum and no long term effect on offsprings was reported

            Tacrolimus may increase hyperglycemia in pregnant women with diabetes (including gestational diabetes); monitor maternal blood glucose levels regularly

            Therapy may exacerbate hypertension in pregnant women and increase pre-eclampsia; monitor and control blood pressure

            Renal dysfunction, transient neonatal hyperkalemia and low birth weight have been reported at time of delivery in infants of mothers taking drug

            There is an increased risk for premature delivery (< 37 weeks) following transplantation and maternal exposure to drug.

            Contraception

            • Therapy can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women; advise female and male patients of reproductive potential to speak to their healthcare provider on family planning options including appropriate contraception prior to starting treatment

            Infertility

            • Based on findings in animals, male and female fertility may be compromised by treatment

            Lactation

            Controlled lactation studies have not been conducted in humans; however tacrolimus has been reported to be present in human milk; effects of tacrolimus on breastfed infant, or on milk production have not been assessed

            Tacrolimus is excreted in rat milk and in peri-/postnatal rat studies, exposure to tacrolimus during postnatal period was associated with developmental toxicity in offspring at clinically relevant doses

            The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for drug and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from drug or from underlying maternal condition

            Administration

            IV Incompatibilities

            Y-site: Acyclovir, ganciclovir

            IV Compatibilities

            Solution: D5W, NS

            Additive: Cimetidine

            Y-site (partial list): Ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, calcium gluconate, cefazolin, ciprofloxacin, dopamine, fluconazole, furosemide, heparin, lorazepam, metoclopramide, metronidazole, morphine sulfate, multivitamins, penicillin G potassium, potassium chloride, propranolol, sodium bicarbonate, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, vancomycin

            IV Preparation

            Dilute with NS or D5W to 0.004-0.02 mg/mL

            Do not store diluted solutions in a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) container due to decreased stability and the potential for extraction of phthalates from PVC containers

            Visually inspect product for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit

            Due to the chemical instability of tacrolimus in alkaline media, mix or co-infuse with solutions of pH ≥9

            IV Administration

            Administer by IV continuous infusion only (use infusion pump)

            In situations where more dilute solutions are utilized (eg, pediatric dosing.), utilize PVC-free tubing to minimize the potential for significant drug adsorption onto the tubing

            Oral Suspension Preparation

            Can cause fetal harm; follow applicable special handling and disposal procedures

            Calculate required dose; use the minimum whole number of packets that corresponds to the required morning or evening dose

            If morning or evening dose is not covered by the whole number of packets, use one additional 0.2 mg packet to round up the dose

            Do not use tubing, syringes and other equipment (cups) containing PVC to prepare or administer tacrolimus suspension; do not sprinkle on food

            Empty the entire contents of each packet into a glass cup; ensure packet is completely empty and add 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 mL) of room temperature drinking water to cup containing the granules

            Mix and administer the entire contents of the cup; granules will not completely dissolve; give immediately after preparation

            Pediatric patients

            • Draw up and dispense suspension via a non-PVC oral syringe
            • Rinse cup or syringe with the same quantity of water (15-30 mL) and ensure all of the medication is taken

            Oral Administration

            Administer the same time each day, 12 hr apart

            Do not eat too much grapefruit while taking tacrolimus

            Capsules and granules

            • Administer consistently with or without food
            • Do not open capsules

            Extended-release capsules or tablets

            • Take preferably on an empty stomach
            • Swallow whole; do not chew, divide, or crush

            Missed doses

            • Once daily extended-release: Take it as soon as possible within 14 hr (Astagraf XL) or 15 hr (Envarsus XR) after missing the dose; beyond the 14-hr or 15-hr time frame, wait until the usual scheduled time to take the next regular daily dose; do not double the next dose

            Storage

            Envarsus XR: Store at 25°C (68-77°F); excursions permitted to 15-30°C (59-86°F)

            TACROLIMUS - TOPICAL

            (ta-KROE-li-mus)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Protopic

            WARNING: Patients have benefited from tacrolimus when it is used correctly. Long-term safety for this drug is not known at this time. There have been rare reports of cancers (such as skin cancer, lymphoma) in patients using tacrolimus. It is not known whether tacrolimus caused these cancers when used on the skin. Further studies to determine the long-term safety of this product are ongoing. In the unlikely event that unusual lumps, swollen glands, or growths (especially on the skin) occur, contact your doctor right away.The US Food and Drug Administration recommends the following: This drug should be used only if other drugs have failed or if other medications are not considered appropriate by your doctor. Tacrolimus should be used on the skin for short treatment periods only. If needed, treatment may be repeated with breaks in between. Use the smallest amount that will treat your condition properly, and apply only on the affected skin. Also, this medication should not be used by children younger than 2 years. As with all medications, discuss the risks, benefits, and proper use of this medication with your doctor.

            USES: This form of tacrolimus is used on the skin to treat a skin condition called eczema (atopic dermatitis) in patients who have not responded well to (or should not use) other eczema medications.Eczema is an allergic-type condition that causes red, irritated, and itchy skin. This drug works by weakening the skin's defense (immune) system, thereby decreasing the allergic reaction and relieving the eczema. Tacrolimus belongs to a class of drugs known as topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs).For children 2 to 15 years of age, the lower strength product should be used.This medication is not recommended if you have a history of a certain rare genetic disorder (Netherton's syndrome). Also, this medication should not be used by anyone who has a weakened immune system (for example, following an organ transplant).

            HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using tacrolimus and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.Wash your hands with soap and water before using this medication. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas of skin as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily. Rub the medication into the skin gently and completely. Wash your hands after using this product unless your hands are being treated. If your doctor recommends a moisturizer, apply it after this medication.This product is for use on the skin only. Avoid getting this medication in your eyes or on the inside of your nose or mouth. If you do get the medication in those areas, flush with plenty of water. Do not apply this medication to open wounds or infected areas. Do not cover the treated area with plastic or waterproof bandages unless directed to do so by your doctor. Do not bathe, shower, or swim right after applying this medication. This could wash it off the treated area.Use this medication exactly as directed. Your doctor may instruct you to stop using it once your eczema has cleared and to start using it again if symptoms reappear. Consult your doctor for details.Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve after 6 weeks of using this medication or if your condition worsens at any time.

            SIDE EFFECTS: Stinging, burning, soreness, or itching in the area of treated skin may occur during the first few days of treatment. Headache, acne, small red bumps on the skin (folliculitis), stomach upset, flu-like symptoms (such as fever, chills, runny nose, sore throat, muscle aches), or increased sensitivity of the skin to hot/cold/pain/touch may also occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: unusual tiredness, back/joint/muscle pain, appearance of any skin infections or sores (such as chicken pox, shingles, lip sores, tumors, warts), chest pain.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

            PRECAUTIONS: Before using tacrolimus, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other macrolide medications (such as sirolimus); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: swollen lymph nodes (for example, due to lymphadenopathy, mononucleosis), use of light therapy (such as UVA or UVB), skin or other cancers, skin infections (such as herpes, shingles), other skin conditions, kidney disease.This drug may make you more sensitive to the effects of alcohol. Your face or skin may flush red and feel hot. Limit alcoholic beverages.This medication may make you more sensitive to the sun. Limit your time in the sun. Avoid tanning booths and sunlamps. Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors.

            MISSED DOSE: If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Use your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
