Once-Daily pill may ease transplant Patients' drug side effects

NCT ID NCT03979365

Summary

This study tested whether taking a once-daily, extended-release version of the anti-rejection drug tacrolimus causes fewer side effects and is easier to stick with than the standard twice-daily version. Researchers enrolled 261 adult kidney transplant recipients to compare symptoms like trembling hands, muscle cramps, and fatigue, as well as overall quality of life and medication adherence. The goal was to see if a simpler dosing schedule improves daily life for people who must take these medications long-term.
