Tacrolimus is a calcineurin inhibitor and potent immunosuppressive drug that is primarily used to prevent cellular rejection following organ transplantation. It is also used topically to treat severe atopic dermatitis, severe refractory uveitis following bone marrow transplants, and the skin disorder vitiligo. Tacrolimus is available in capsule, granules for oral suspension (to be combined with liquid), extended-release (long acting) capsule, and extended-release tablet for oral administration. Tacrolimus immediate-release formulations, in combination with other immunosuppressants, are approved for the prevention of organ rejection in adult and pediatric patients receiving allogeneic liver, kidney, heart, or lung transplants. Tacrolimus extended-release formulations are approved for the prevention of organ rejection in adult and pediatric patients having kidney transplants when combined with other immunosuppressants, and may be used in patients who have been converted from immediate-release formulations.
