NICE has made the following recommendations about the use of immunosuppressive drugs in adults receiving kidney transplants: Doctors should consider using basiliximab or daclizumab for induction treatment (immediately after the kidney transplant).

Immunosuppressive therapy for renal transplantation in adults

These drugs should be used with a combination of other drugs including a calcineurin inhibitor such as ciclosporin. The cheapest one of the two (basiliximab or daclizumab) should be used. Tacrolimus is a calcineurin inhibitor and can be used instead of ciclosporin when a person needs a calcineurin inhibitor as part of their initial or maintenance immunosuppressive treatment after a kidney transplant. The drug (tacrolimus or ciclosporin) that is least likely to have serious side effects in that particular person should be used. Doctors should consider using mycophenolate mofetil as part of immunosuppressive treatment after kidney transplant only when a person has to stop taking a calcineurin inhibitor, or has to take a lower dose.
