CompositionTACROGRAF 0.5 CAPSULE 10 is a medicine used to help prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ in adults who have received a liver, kidney, or heart transplant. It helps the body accept the new organ as its own.
This capsule belongs to a group of medicines called immunosuppressants, which reduce the activity of the immune system. It is often used together with other anti-rejection medicines, especially in the early period after a transplant. Take it exactly as directed at the same times each day, and do not stop it without medical advice, as this could risk rejection of the transplant.
Because this medicine lowers the body's defences, simple precautions help alongside it. These include good hand hygiene, avoiding people with infections where possible, and protecting your skin from strong sunlight as advised by your transplant team.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any kidney problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, or other medicines you take. Your care team will check your blood levels, kidney function, blood sugar, and potassium regularly. Tell them promptly about signs of infection such as fever or sore throat.
