Full Dose Myfortic® and Reduced Dose Neoral®

The administration of gradual dose increased to reach 1440 mg/day (V4) of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (Myfortic®, EC-MPS) with simultaneous dose reduction of micro emulsion cyclosporine (Neoral®, CsA-ME) given to maintenance kidney transplant patients previously treated with reduced-dose mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and standard dose CsA-ME

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Enteric coated mycophenolate sodium (Myfortic®)

Intervention Type DRUG

Standard Dose of Myfortic® and Standard Dose of CsA-ME

Patients received unchanged dose of Myfortic® (equimolar to the prior established dose MMF) and unchanged standard dose of CsA-ME.
