Overview Degraf 2 Capsule

Following an organ transplant (e.g., liver, kidney, or heart), Degraf 2 Capsules, used in conjunction with other medications, helps prevent organ rejection by suppressing the immune system's attack on the new organ. This immunosuppressant's dosage and frequency depend on your transplant type, weight, and other medications. Strict adherence to your doctor's instructions is vital. Administer on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after eating. Consistent use maximizes benefits; discontinuation increases rejection risk. Degraf 2 Capsules carries potential side effects, including exacerbation or onset of diabetes and kidney issues—requiring immediate medical attention. Common side effects encompass tremors, infections, hypertension, headaches, and sleep disturbances. Report persistent or worsening side effects to your physician. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing kidney, liver, or heart conditions, diabetes, or hypertension, and all other medications (including those for infections, pain, or arthritis), as interactions may occur. Minimize sun and UV exposure due to increased skin cancer risk. Effective contraception is crucial for both genders. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally discouraged unless absolutely necessary. Regular blood pressure checks and frequent medical monitoring are essential throughout treatment.
