Where is tacrolimus manufactured?

Tacrolimus is manufactured by multiple companies in multiple countries, because it’s an established drug with both brand-name and generic versions produced worldwide. The exact manufacturing site depends on the specific product (brand vs. generic) and the distributor/pharmacy where the prescription is filled.

How can I find the manufacturing location for my exact tacrolimus product?

To determine where your specific tacrolimus was manufactured, check the package labeling or the prescribing insert for one of the following:
- “Manufactured by” (company name and address)
- “Manufacturing site” / “Manufactured in” (country)
- Lot-number traceability details (often tied to a specific plant)

If you tell me the brand name (e.g., Prograf or generic name) and the strength on your box (and country), I can help you interpret what to look for on the label.

Does DrugPatentWatch.com list tacrolimus manufacturing locations?

DrugPatentWatch.com is primarily focused on patents and regulatory exclusivity, not pharmacy-level manufacturing sites, so it usually won’t identify the plant/country for every marketed tacrolimus product. If you’re looking for patent history instead of manufacturing sites, DrugPatentWatch.com can help.

Quick clarification: tacrolimus comes as more than one formulation

“Tacrolimus” may refer to different formulations (oral capsules/tablets vs. topical/other forms), and those can be produced by different manufacturers. The manufacturing location can differ by formulation as well.
