Because the two adult studies were identically designed, the results from these studies were pooled in this table. Four hundred and four (404) patients ≥ 65 years old received tacrolimus ointment in phase 3 studies. Systemic absorption is more likely to occur in patients with epidermal barrier defects especially when tacrolimus ointment is applied to large body surface areas. 16729-421-12, In stock Manufacturer ACCORD HEALTHCA 16729004201.
Accord Healthcare, Inc., In the 80-week mouse study and in the 104-week rat study no relationship of tumor incidence to tacrolimus dosage was found at daily doses up to 3 mg/kg [9X the Maximum Recommended Human Dose (MRHD) based on AUC comparisons] and 5 mg/kg (3X the MRHD based on AUC comparisons), respectively. If this shortage affects your patients, we recommend discussing alternative options within your teams to devise a management strategy.Some alternative options to continue tacrolimus treatment if the formulation used by the patient is on shortage include:- Changing the current formulation on shortage to a different generic tacrolimus formulation that is not on shortage - These can be identified by discussing with your pharmacists and consulting the - Changing the current formulation on shortage to a branded tacrolimus formulation, which may not be directly interchangeable with twice-daily tacrolimus products. Due to inconsistencies between the drug labels on DailyMed and the pill images provided by A statistically significant difference in the percentage of pediatric patients with ≥ 90% improvement was achieved by week 2 for those treated with tacrolimus ointment 0.03%.In adult patients who had achieved ≥ 90% improvement at the end of treatment, 35% of those treated with tacrolimus ointment 0.03% and 41% of those treated with tacrolimus ointment 0.1%, regressed from this state of improvement at 2 weeks after end-of-treatment. 90% of the pruritus events had a duration between 3 minutes and 10 hours (median 20 minutes) (see In a pharmacokinetic study of 14 pediatric atopic dermatitis patients, between the ages of 2-5 years, peak blood concentrations of tacrolimus ranged from undetectable to 14.8 ng/mL after single or multiple doses of 0.03% tacrolimus ointment, with 86% (12/14) of patients having peak blood concentrations below 2 ng/mL throughout the study. At the time this information was published, these shortages apply to some generic versions of tacrolimus, and dates for resolution of the shortages range from July 2019 to April 2020.

About 2,500 of these patients were 2 to 6 years of age. The adverse event profile for these patients was consistent with that for other adult patients.No phototoxicity and no photoallergenicity were detected in clinical studies with 12 and 216 normal volunteers, respectively. Tacrolimus also inhibits the transcription for genes which encode IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, GM-CSF, and TNF-α, all of which are involved in the early stages of T-cell activation.

The safety and efficacy of tacrolimus ointment in immunocompromised patients have not been studied.Rare post-marketing cases of acute renal failure have been reported in patients treated with tacrolimus ointment. A 104-week dermal carcinogenicity study was performed in mice with tacrolimus ointment (0.03% - 3%), equivalent to tacrolimus doses of 1.1-118 mg/kg/day or 3.3-354 mg/m Over 80% of patients had atopic dermatitis affecting the face and/or neck region. In both adult studies, a significantly greater (p < 0.001) percentage of patients achieved at least 90% improvement based on the physician’s global evaluation of clinical response in the tacrolimus ointment 0.03% and tacrolimus ointment 0.1% treatment groups compared to the vehicle treatment group. The time course of improvement in the remaining secondary efficacy variables was similar to that of erythema, with improvement in lichenification slightly slower.Tacrolimus ointment, both 0.03% and 0.1% for adults, and only 0.03% for children aged 2 to 15 years, is indicated as
