Overview Alagraf 0.5 Capsule

Post-transplant, Alagraf 0.5 Capsules, used in conjunction with other medications, help prevent organ rejection (e.g., liver, kidney, heart). This immunosuppressant works by suppressing the immune system's attack on the new organ. Dosage and frequency of Alagraf 0.5 Capsules vary based on transplant type, body weight, and other medications; strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Administer on an empty stomach, at least one hour prior to or two hours after eating. Consistent use is crucial for optimal results; discontinuation increases rejection risk. Alagraf 0.5 Capsules can cause or exacerbate diabetes and kidney issues, requiring immediate medical attention. Other possible side effects include tremors, infections, hypertension, headaches, and sleep disturbances. Report persistent or worsening side effects to your doctor. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility. Inform your doctor about pre-existing conditions like kidney, liver, or heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension, and all other medications (especially those for infections, pain, or arthritis), as interactions may occur. Minimize sun and UV exposure due to increased skin cancer risk. Effective contraception is advised for both men and women. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally discouraged unless medically necessary. Regular medical checkups, including frequent blood pressure monitoring, are essential throughout treatment.
