Overview Prograf 2mg Tablet

Tacrolimus 2mg tablets, used post-transplantation, prevent organ rejection (e.g., liver, kidney, heart) by suppressing the immune system's attack on the new organ. This immunosuppressant's dosage and frequency are tailored to your transplant type, weight, and other medications; adhere strictly to your physician's guidelines. Administer on an empty stomach, at least one hour pre- or two hours post-meal. Continuous use is crucial for optimal results; discontinuation elevates rejection risk. Tacrolimus carries potential side effects, including exacerbated diabetes and kidney issues—requiring immediate medical attention—along with tremor, infections, hypertension, headaches, and sleep disturbances. Report persistent or worsening side effects to your doctor. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility. Inform your doctor of pre-existing kidney, liver, heart problems, diabetes, or hypertension, and all concurrent medications (especially those for infections, pain, or arthritis) due to potential interactions. Limit sun and UV exposure due to heightened skin cancer risk. Effective contraception is essential for both genders. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally discouraged unless medically necessary. Regular blood pressure monitoring and frequent medical checkups are vital throughout treatment.
