What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

ENVARSUS XR is a prescription medication given to people who have received a kidney transplant. It prevents the rejection of organ donation.

ENVARSUS XR is an extended-release version of tacrolimus, and patients may be converted to this formulation to take fewer doses per day.

Directions

Take at the same time each day on an empty stomach. 

Take exactly as directed by your doctor. Your doctor will determine the starting dose and it will change based on blood levels.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in ENVARSUS XR is tacrolimus.

Interactions

ENVARSUS XR has many drug interactions that can cause harmful effects. Some drugs can increase ENVARSUS XR levels dangerously high, resulting in toxic side effects. Other medications may decrease ENVARSUS XR levels, leading to organ rejection. Speak with your doctor and pharmacist before starting or changing any medications.

  • Alcohol
  • Amiodarone
  • Anticonvulsants

Cautions

Do not drink grapefruit just while taking ENVARSUS XR because it can increase blood levels and the risk of serious adverse reactions.

Even small variations in the levels of ENVARSUS XR in the blood cause lead to organ rejection or death. Therefore, it is important for your doctor to monitor you very closely if you switch formulations.

Do not get live vaccinations unless directed by your physician.

  • Diabetes
