Tacrograf 1.0 Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Tacrograf 1.0 Capsule 10 contains tacrolimus (1 mg), which contributes to its action in your body as follows:

• Binding with FKBP-12: Tacrolimus forms a complex with an intracellular protein called FKBP-12.

• Inhibiting Calcineurin: The tacrolimus-FKBP-12 complex then inhibits a calcium-dependent enzyme called calcineurin.

• Suppressing T Cell activation: By inhibiting calcineurin, tacrolimus suppresses the activation of T cells, which are crucial components of the immune system.

• Reducing Cytokine gene expression: The suppression of T cell activation leads to a reduction in cytokine gene expression. Cytokines are proteins that play a pivotal role in cell signalling during immune responses.

• Preventing organ rejection: By suppressing immune reactions at the cellular level, tacrolimus helps prevent the body from rejecting transplanted organs.

• Store Tacrograf 1.0 Capsule 10 in a cool, dry place at a temperature below 30°C.

• Don't expose the medicine to excessive light or moisture.

• Keep it out of reach of children.

• Since Tacrograf 1.0 Capsule 10 is used for managing organ rejection after transplantation, it's crucial to follow a balanced diet rich in proteins and low in salt and fat to support overall health and organ function.
