Interesting!! I assumed that Envarsus was just another brand name for Tacronlimis since my drug monitoring labs are for Tacronlimis. I was started with Mycophenolate and Envarsus XR (Tacronlimis). I didn't realize that there is a difference between Tacronlimis and Envarsus since all my labs include monitoring my "Tacronlimis blood level". Maybe I am wrong and there are medical advantages to taking Envarsus instead of other versions of Tacronlimis like your husband's change to Myfortic instead Mycophenolate. It's the same family of drug, but there is an advantage to the coating to help with digestive problems, etc. It sounds like your local nephrologist may be a good source for the advantages of Envarsus over your current Tac drug. Now that you are saying this...., I remember that a friend of mine in Philadelphia was changed to Envarsus. I will reach out to her to find out why her nephrologist changed her to Envarsus. (I can't remember the reason that instigated the change).

You were absolutely correct! My friend told me that her doctor changed her from Tac to Envarsus to help with her tremors. So it sounds like there may be real medical advantages to switching. Is your hubby experiencing shakiness and tremors?... And maybe there are even more reasons that your local nephrologist likes Envarsus. I learned something today!
