Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and Safety after conversion to TacroBell SR cap. or TacroBell cap. in patients who in renal transplant patients undergoing maintenance therapy with Reference Tacrolimus.

Detailed description

This study is a multi-center, Randomized, Open-label and phase IV clinical trial that evaluates the efficacy and safety after conversion to TacroBell SR cap. or TacroBell cap. administration for 24 weeks in renal transplant patients undergoing maintenance therapy with Reference Tacrolimus.

Interventions

* Orally, once-daily in the morning * After first dose 0.2mg/kg, check the blood concentration of tacrolimus at each visit and adjust the dose to achieve the blood concentration maintaining at 3\ 12ng/ml for 0 to 3months and then at 3\ 8ng/ml for 3 to 6months of study treatment.

DRUGTacrolimus cap.

* Orally, twice a day in the morning and night * After first dose 0.1mg/kg, check the blood concentration of tacrolimus at each visit and adjust the dose to achieve the blood concentration maintaining at 7\ 12ng/ml for 0 to 3months and then at 5\ 8ng/ml for 3 to 6months of study treatment.
