Overview Amigraf 2 Capsule

Following an organ transplant (e.g., liver, kidney, heart), Amigraf 2 Capsules, used in conjunction with other medications, helps prevent organ rejection. By suppressing the immune system, it reduces the body's attack on the new organ. This immunosuppressant's dosage and frequency depend on your transplant type, weight, and other 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 results; discontinuation increases rejection risk. Amigraf 2 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. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility. Inform your doctor about pre-existing kidney, liver, heart conditions, diabetes, or hypertension, and all current medications (particularly those for infections, pain, or arthritis), as interactions are possible. 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 required throughout treatment.
