Has anyone transitioned from tacro to envarsus xr and if so can you share any concerns? Thanks

Envarsus is extended release tacrolimus. I’m sure someone more scientifically inclined can explain the makeup differences.
I switched from prograf to advagraf (another form of extended release tacrolimus) a year or so after my transplant. For me it worked wonders - less side effects, I only have to remember to take meds once a day, my labs are more stable. If you have any questions about your specific case I’d definitely check with your team.
Alisha I take prograf twice a day 2 in the morning and two at bedtime
