Levofloxacin modestly increased the bioavailability of tacrolimus in one study. In vitro, enoxacin had no effect on tacrolimus metabolism. 

On the basis of the study above and of some quite unexpected rises in drug levels and subsequent nephrotoxicity in a handful of patients taking the similarly metabolised immunosuppressant, ciclosporin, with a qui-nolone antibacterial (see Ciclosporin + Antibacterials Quinolones , p.1018), one review suggested that close monitoring would be appropriate if tacrolimus is given with any quinolone. However, in vitro studies have suggested that enoxacin does not affect the metabolism of tacrolimus, and ciprofloxacin does not affect the immunosuppressant activity of tacrolimus. Further study is needed.
