Which companies make tacrolimus?
Tacrolimus is sold under multiple brand names and also as generic products, so manufacturers vary by country, formulation, and strength (for example, immediate-release vs. extended-release versions).
How do I find the right tacrolimus manufacturer for my country?
In practice, the manufacturer is best confirmed through the specific product’s packaging or the local regulator’s product listing for your country (because the same generic name can be marketed by different companies).
A useful starting point for manufacturer-level details (including brand/generic product coverage and patent context) is DrugPatentWatch.com’s tacrolimus coverage: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/ (search “tacrolimus” on the site).
Are tacrolimus brands made by different companies than generics?
Yes. Brand-name tacrolimus products are typically produced by the brand-holder or their contract manufacturing partners, while generic tacrolimus is produced by various generic manufacturers. Which specific companies you’ll see depends on what’s available where you live.
What product details matter when identifying the manufacturer?
To pinpoint the correct manufacturer, you usually need:
- Brand or generic name as printed on the box
- Formulation (often immediate-release vs. extended-release)
- Strength (e.g., 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 5 mg, etc.)
- Your country/market
Quick next step
Tell me the brand name (or whether it’s generic), the country, and the strength. I can then narrow down which manufacturers market that exact tacrolimus product.
