1. What is Conferoport and what is it used for

Conferoport contains the active substance tacrolimus. It is an immunosuppressant. After your organ transplant (liver, kidney), your body's immune system will try to reject the new organ. Conferoport is used to control your body's immune response, allowing it to accept the transplanted organ.

You may also receive Conferoport to treat a rejection that is occurring in your liver, kidney, heart, or other transplanted organ, when any previous treatment you were following does not control this immune response after your transplant.

Conferoport is used in adults.

2. What you need to know before you take Conferoport

Do not take Conferoport

  • if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to tacrolimus or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if you are allergic to sirolimus or any macrolide antibiotic (e.g., erythromycin, clarithromycin, josamycin),
  • if you are allergic to peanuts or soy.

Warnings and precautions

Tacrolimus immediate-release capsules and Conferoport both contain the active substance tacrolimus. However, Conferoport is taken once a day, while tacrolimus immediate-release capsules are taken twice a day. This is because Conferoport capsules allow for prolonged release (slower release over a longer period) of tacrolimus. Conferoport and tacrolimus immediate-release capsules are not interchangeable.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist before taking Conferoport:

  • if you are taking any medicine mentioned in "Other medicines and Conferoport",
  • if you have or have had liver problems,
  • if you have had diarrhea for more than a day,
  • if you feel strong abdominal pain accompanied by other symptoms such as chills, fever, nausea, or vomiting,
  • if you have a heart condition called "prolonged QT interval",
  • if you have or have had damage to the small blood vessels, known as thrombotic microangiopathy/thrombocytopenic purpura/hemolytic uremic syndrome. Tell your doctor if you develop fever, bruising under the skin (which can appear as red spots), unexplained tiredness, confusion, yellowing of the skin or eyes, decreased urine output, loss of vision, and seizures (see section 4). When taking tacrolimus with sirolimus or everolimus, the risk of these symptoms may increase.

Please avoid taking any herbal preparations, e.g., St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) or any other plant-based product, as this may affect the effectiveness and dose of tacrolimus you need to receive. If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor before taking any plant-based product or preparation.

Tell your doctor immediately if you experience:

  • vision problems such as blurred vision, changes in color vision, difficulty seeing details, or reduced field of vision.

Your doctor may need to adjust your dose of Conferoport.

You should stay in regular contact with your doctor. From time to time, to establish the correct dose of Conferoport, your doctor may need to perform blood and urine tests, heart tests, and eye tests.

You should limit your exposure to sunlight and UV (ultraviolet) light while taking Conferoport. This is because immunosuppressants can increase the risk of skin cancer. Wear protective clothing and use a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor.

Handling precautions:

During preparation, avoid contact with any part of the body, such as skin or eyes, as well as breathing near the injection solutions, powder, or granules contained in the tacrolimus products. If such contact occurs, wash the skin and eyes.

Children and adolescents

Conferoport is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Other medicines and Conferoport

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription and plant-based preparations.

Concomitant use of Conferoport with cyclosporin (another medicine used to prevent organ transplant rejection) is not recommended.

If you need to visit a different doctor than your transplant specialist, tell the doctor that you are taking tacrolimus. Your doctor may need to consult your transplant specialist if you need to use another medicine that may increase or decrease your blood level of tacrolimus.

Tacrolimus blood levels may be changed due to other medicines you are taking, and blood levels of other medicines may be changed by the administration of tacrolimus, which may require interruption, increase, or decrease of the dose of Conferoport.

Some patients have experienced increases in tacrolimus blood levels while taking other medicines. This could cause serious side effects, such as kidney problems, nervous system problems, and heart rhythm disorders (see section 4).

The effect on Conferoport blood levels may occur soon after starting to use another medicine, so it may be necessary to monitor the blood level of Conferoport frequently and continuously during the first days of use of another medicine and frequently while continuing its use. Some other medicines may cause tacrolimus blood levels to decrease, which may increase the risk of organ transplant rejection. In particular, you should tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken medicines such as:

  • antifungals and antibiotics, especially macrolide antibiotics, used to treat infections, e.g., ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, clotrimazole, isavuconazole, miconazole, caspofungin, telithromycin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, josamycin, azithromycin, rifampicin, rifabutin, isoniazid, and flucloxacillin,
  • letermovir, used to prevent diseases caused by CMV (human cytomegalovirus),
  • HIV protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir), the pharmacoenhancer cobicistat, and combined or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors for HIV (efavirenz, etravirine, nevirapine), used to treat HIV infection,
  • HCV protease inhibitors (e.g., telaprevir, boceprevir, and the combination ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir, with or without dasabuvir), elbasvir/grazoprevir, and glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, used to treat hepatitis C infection,
  • nilotinib, imatinib, idelalisib, ceritinib, crizotinib, apalutamide, enzalutamide, or mitotane (used to treat certain types of cancer),
  • mycophenolic acid, used to suppress the immune system as a prevention of transplant rejection,
  • medicines for stomach ulcers and acid reflux (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole, or cimetidine),
  • antiemetics, used to treat nausea and vomiting (e.g., metoclopramide),
  • cisapride or the antacid magnesium-aluminum hydroxide, used to treat acidity,
  • the contraceptive pill or other hormonal treatments with ethinylestradiol, hormonal treatments with danazol,
  • medicines used to treat high blood pressure or heart problems (e.g., nifedipine, nicardipine, diltiazem, and verapamil),
  • antiarrhythmic medicines (amiodarone) used to control irregular heartbeat,
  • medicines known as "statins" used to treat high cholesterol and triglycerides,
  • carbamazepine, phenytoin, or phenobarbital, used to treat epilepsy,
  • corticosteroids prednisolone or methylprednisolone, belonging to the class of corticosteroids used to treat inflammation or suppress the immune system (e.g., transplant rejection),
  • nefazodone, used to treat depression,
  • plant-based medicines that contain St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) or extracts of Schisandra sphenanthera,
  • metamizole, a medicine used to treat pain and fever,
  • cannabidiol (its use includes, among others, the treatment of epileptic seizures).

Tell your doctor if you are receiving treatment for hepatitis C. Hepatitis C treatment may change your liver function and may affect your tacrolimus blood levels. Tacrolimus blood levels may decrease or increase depending on the medicines prescribed for hepatitis C. Your doctor may need to closely monitor your tacrolimus blood levels and make necessary dose adjustments of Conferoport after starting hepatitis C treatment.

Tell your doctor if you are taking or need to take ibuprofen (used to treat fever, inflammation, and pain), antibiotics (cotrimoxazole, vancomycin, or aminoglycoside antibiotics such as gentamicin), amphotericin B (used to treat fungal infections), or antivirals (used to treat viral infections, e.g., acyclovir, ganciclovir, cidofovir, foscarnet). These medicines may worsen kidney or nervous system problems when taken with Conferoport.

Tell your doctor if you are taking sirolimus or everolimus. When taking tacrolimus with sirolimus or everolimus, the risk of thrombotic microangiopathy, thrombocytopenic purpura, and hemolytic uremic syndrome may increase (see section 4).

Your doctor also needs to know if you are taking potassium supplements or certain diuretics used for heart failure, high blood pressure, and kidney disease (e.g., amiloride, triamterene, or spironolactone), or the antibiotics trimethoprim and cotrimoxazole, which may increase potassium levels in your blood, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, e.g., ibuprofen) used for fever, inflammation, and pain, anticoagulants (which prevent blood clotting), or oral medicines for diabetes treatment, while taking Conferoport.

If you are planning to get vaccinated, consult your doctor.

3. How to take Conferoport

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medicine given by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again. This medicine should only be prescribed by a doctor with experience in the treatment of patients with transplants.

Make sure you receive the same tacrolimus medicine each time you collect your prescription. Unless your transplant specialist has agreed to change to a different tacrolimus medicine, this medicine should be taken once a day. If the appearance of this medicine is not the same as usual, or if the dosing instructions have changed, consult your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible to ensure you have the correct medicine.

The initial dose to prevent rejection of your transplanted organ will be determined by your doctor based on your body weight. The daily initial doses just after transplantation will generally be within the range of 0.10-0.30 mg per kg body weight and per day, depending on the transplanted organ. For treatment of rejection, these same doses may be used.

Your dose depends on your overall condition and any other immunosuppressive medication you may be taking.

After starting treatment with Conferoport, your doctor will perform frequent blood tests to determine the correct dose. Afterward, your doctor will need to perform blood tests regularly to determine the correct dose and to adjust the dose from time to time. Your doctor will usually decrease your dose of Conferoport once your condition has stabilized. Your doctor will tell you exactly how many capsules to take.

You will need to take Conferoport every day as long as you need immunosuppression to prevent rejection of your transplanted organ. You should stay in regular contact with your doctor.

Conferoport is taken orally once a day, in the morning. Take Conferoport on an empty stomach or 2 to 3 hours after a meal. Wait at least one hour until the next meal. Take the capsules immediately after removing them from the blister pack. The capsules should be swallowed wholewith a glass of water. Do not swallow the desiccant contained in the aluminum bag.

If you take more Conferoport than you should

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount taken.

If you forget to take Conferoport

If you have forgotten to take your Conferoport capsules in the morning, take them as soon as possible the same day. Do not take a double dose the next morning to make up for the forgotten doses.

If you stop taking Conferoport

Stopping your treatment with Conferoport may increase the risk of rejection of your transplanted organ. Do not stop treatment unless your doctor tells you to.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible Adverse Effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause adverse effects, although not all people suffer from them.

Conferoport reduces the body's defense mechanisms (immune system), which will not work as well when fighting infections. Therefore, if you are taking Conferoport, you will be more prone to suffering from infections. Some infections can be serious or fatal and may include infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, or other infections.

Inform your doctor immediately if you have symptoms of an infection, including:

  • Fever, cough, sore throat, feeling of weakness or general malaise,
  • Memory loss, problems thinking, difficulty walking or loss of vision,

these symptoms may be due to a rare and serious brain infection that can be fatal (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy or PML).
