Overview Degraf 1 Capsule

Following an organ transplant (e.g., liver, kidney, heart), Degraf 1 Capsule works in conjunction with other medications to prevent organ rejection. Its immunosuppressant properties weaken the body's immune response, thus reducing the risk of attacking the new organ. Dosage and frequency of Degraf 1 Capsule depend on factors such as transplant type, body weight, and other concurrent medications; always adhere strictly to your physician's prescription. Administer on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals. Consistent use is crucial for optimal efficacy; discontinuation may significantly increase the chance of transplant rejection. Degraf 1 Capsule carries several potential side effects, including exacerbation of pre-existing conditions like diabetes and kidney disease—requiring immediate medical attention. Other potential side effects, such as tremors, infections, hypertension, headaches, and sleep disturbances, may also occur. Report persistent or worsening side effects to your doctor promptly. This medication's immunosuppressive action increases susceptibility to infections. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions like kidney, liver, or heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension, and all medications being taken (particularly those for infections, pain, or arthritis) as interactions are possible. Due to increased skin cancer risk, limit sun and UV exposure. Reliable contraception is advised for both men and women during treatment. Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is generally discouraged unless deemed essential by your physician. Regular medical checkups, including frequent blood pressure monitoring, are necessary throughout the treatment period to track your progress.
