There are a number of companies manufacturing the med: Brand-name tacrolimus products (Protopic and Prograf) are made by Astellas Pharma Tech Co., Ltd., and Astellas Pharma US, Inc. Generic tacrolimus capsules are made by a variety of manufacturers, such as: Accord Healthcare, Ltd.; Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Ltd.; Sandoz; Mylan, Inc.
Maybe if you could write to one of them they might run a program to get hold cheaper med.
Take care, best wishes!
