Tacrolimus and the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), lansoprazole and rabeprazole, potentially interact on their hepatic elimination when patients take them simultaneously, because the PPIs and tacrolimus share the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 for their hepatic elimination. This drug interaction may be observed differently between metabolic status of PPIs, extensive and poor metabolizers, which are assigned to CYP2C19 gene polymorphism (1). We report the effects of lansoprazole and rabeprazole on tacrolimus blood concentration in the case of a renal transplant recipient with CYP2C19 gene mutation.A 57-year-old woman who underwent cadaveric renal transplantation received tacrolimus, prednisolone, and mycophenolate mofetil for her immunosuppression. Lansoprazole (30 mg/day) was started on postoperative day 19 because of peptic ulcer. Tacrolimus trough levels maintained at 16.3–17.6 ng/ml with the daily dose of 22 mg drastically increased to 26.7 ng/ml 3 days after introducing lansoprazole. Because other medications and liver and kidney functions did not change before or after introducing lansoprazole, it was considered that the elevation of tacrolimus level was caused by the drug interaction with lansoprazole. Switching lansoprazole to famotidine (40 mg/day) on day 71 produced a decline in tacrolimus levels from 12.0–15.4 ng/ml to 8.0 ng/ml, although the dose of tacrolimus remained unchanged (8 mg/day). On day 152, rabeprazole (10 mg/day) was started instead of famotidine to heal the symptoms generated from the recurrence of peptic ulcer. There was no change in blood tacrolimus levels before or after switching famotidine to rabeprazole.
