Tacrolimus XR (Envarsus) is prescribed to help prevent rejection of a transplanted organ after surgery.

Guidelines for use:
Take once a day, every morning.
Never miss a dose, unless otherwise instructed.
Take on an empty stomach.
For blood work, have your blood drawn before your morning dose.
Do not cut in half or crush.
As your prescribed dose changes, write down new instructions as they are given to you.

Please contact your transplant nurse coordinator with any questions you may have.
