Overview Covergraf 0.5mg Capsule

Following an organ transplant (e.g., liver, kidney, heart), Covergraf 0.5mg capsules, used in conjunction with other medications, help prevent organ rejection. By suppressing the immune system, it reduces the body's attack on the new organ. Covergraf 0.5mg belongs to the immunosuppressant drug class. Dosage and frequency depend on the transplant type, body weight, and other medications. Adhere strictly to your physician's instructions. Administer on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after eating. Consistent use maximizes benefits; continued use is crucial, even with well-being.
