Consumer:

Using tacrolimus together with danazol may increase the effects of tacrolimus. Contact your doctor if you experience increased side effects such as fever, infection, diarrhea, tremor, headache, fatigue, or lethargy. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

MONITOR: Limited data suggest that danazol may inhibit the CYP450 3A4 hepatic metabolism of tacrolimus. Tacrolimus serum concentrations and risk of nephrotoxicity may increase significantly.

MANAGEMENT: Until more data are available, these agents should be used concomitantly only with caution. Close monitoring of tacrolimus concentrations, blood pressure, electrolytes, and kidney function is recommended. Tacrolimus dose reductions may be required. Patients should be advised to report symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, paresthesias, or tremor.
