Overview Tacrograf 1 Capsule

Following a transplant (e.g., liver, kidney, heart), Prograf (Tacrolimus) is administered with other medications to prevent organ rejection. Its immunosuppressant properties subdue the body's immune response, thus protecting the transplanted organ. Dosage and frequency vary based on transplant type, patient weight, and concurrent medications; adhere strictly to your physician's prescription. Administer on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after eating. Consistent use maximizes efficacy; discontinuation increases rejection risk. Prograf can induce or exacerbate diabetes and kidney issues, requiring immediate medical attention. Other potential side effects include tremors, 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 conditions such as kidney, liver, or heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension, and all current medications (especially those for infections, pain, or arthritis), as interactions may occur. Minimize sun and UV exposure due to increased skin cancer risk. Effective contraception is essential for both men and women. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally discouraged unless medically necessary. Regular medical monitoring, including frequent blood pressure checks, is crucial throughout treatment.
