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.

Get tacrolimus c0 level checked 14 days after changing brand and check with the nephrologist. Do not change brands too often.

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.
