POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
18
Advagraf is a once-a-day oral formulation of tacrolimus. Advagraf
therapy requires careful
19
monitoring by adequately qualified and equipped personnel. This
medicinal product should
20
only be prescribed, and changes in immunosuppressive therapy
initiated, by physicians
21
experienced in immunosuppressive therapy and the management of
transplant patients.
22
23
Inadvertent, unintentional or unsupervised switching of immediate- or
prolonged-release
24
formulations of tacrolimus is unsafe. This can lead to graft rejection
or increased incidence of
25
side
effects,
including
under-
or
over-immunosuppression,
due
to
clinically
relevant
26
differences in systemic exposure to tacrolimus. Patients should be
maintained on a single
27
formulation
of
tacrolimus
with
the
corresponding
daily
dosing
regimen;
alterations
in
28
formulation or regimen should only take place under the close
supervision of a transplant
29
specialist (see Special warnings and precautions for use and
Undesirable effects). Following
30
conversion to any alternative formulation, therapeutic drug monitoring
must be performed and
31
dose adjustments made to ensure that systemic exposure to tacrolimus
is maintained.
