Overview Grafotas 100mg Capsule

Immunosuppressant medication, Grafotas 100mg capsules, prevents organ rejection following liver, kidney, heart, or bone marrow transplantation by suppressing the immune response. This medication also treats nephrotic syndrome, severe rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. Dosage is individualized based on weight, condition, and treatment goal, determined by your physician. Dosage adjustments should only be made under their direction. Administer consistently, at the same time daily, with or without food, for optimal effectiveness and to maintain prescribed duration, even with symptom improvement. Premature discontinuation increases transplant rejection risk. Common side effects include headache, hirsutism, hypertension, diarrhea, gingival hyperplasia, and tremors. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility; report any infections promptly. A heightened cancer risk, particularly skin cancer, necessitates sun protection. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of existing liver or kidney disease, hypertension, gout, or epilepsy. Disclose all concurrent medications due to potential interactions. Use during pregnancy is conditional upon absolute necessity, and breastfeeding is contraindicated. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, liver and kidney function, and mineral levels is crucial; test results may necessitate dosage modifications.
