Summary

This study looked at kidney transplant patients taking anti-rejection medication. It compared a once-daily pill (Envarsus XR) to a twice-daily pill (immediate-release tacrolimus) to see if the once-daily option led to fewer side effects, better medication adherence, and improved quality of life. 261 adults who had a kidney transplant participated, and researchers measured symptoms like trembling, muscle cramps, and gum swelling.
