Overview Alagraf 1 Capsule

Post-transplant, Alagraf 1 Capsules, used in conjunction with other medications, suppress the body's immune response to prevent organ rejection (e.g., liver, kidney, heart). This immunosuppressant reduces the likelihood of the body attacking the new organ. Dosage and frequency are determined by transplant type, body weight, and concurrent medications; strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Administer on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals. Consistent use is crucial for optimal efficacy; discontinuation increases rejection risk. Alagraf 1 Capsules can induce or exacerbate diabetes and kidney issues, requiring immediate medical attention. Other potential side effects include tremors, infections, hypertension, headaches, and sleep disturbances. Report persistent or worsening side effects to your doctor. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing kidney, liver, heart conditions, diabetes, or hypertension, as well as all current medications (including those for infections, pain, or arthritis), which may interact with Alagraf 1 Capsules. Minimize sun and UV exposure due to increased skin cancer risk. Effective contraception is essential for both men and women. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally discouraged unless medically necessary. Regular medical check-ups, including frequent blood pressure monitoring, are vital throughout treatment.
