[indications]Suitable for patients undergoing kidney transplantation to prevent organ rejection.  

【Dosage】It is recommended that this drug be combined with cyclosporine and corticosteroids. This medicine is for oral administration once a day. After the transplant, the drug should be taken as soon as possible. For new transplant recipients, the dose of the drug should be taken for the first time, that is, 3 times the dose of the maintenance. The recommended loading for kidney transplant patients is 6 mg and the maintenance dose is 2 mg/day. Although the 15 mg load and the 5 mg/day maintenance dose are safe and effective in clinical trials, the efficacy benefit of doses above 2 mg is not clear for kidney transplant patients. Patients who take 2 mg of the drug daily are generally safer than those who take 5 mg of the drug daily. 
In order to minimize the difference in absorption of the drug, the drug should be taken with or without food.
