Tacronol 2 MG Capsule 10 contains tacrolimus (2 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Calcineurin inhibition: Tacrolimus blocks an enzyme called calcineurin, which plays a crucial role in activating T-cells in your immune system.

• Reduced T-cell activation: By inhibiting calcineurin, tacrolimus prevents T-lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) from becoming fully activated, which would otherwise attack the transplanted organ.

• Decreased cytokine production: The medicine reduces the production of interleukin-2 and other inflammatory substances called cytokines that stimulate immune responses.

• Transplant protection: Through these actions, tacrolimus prevents your immune system from recognising and attacking the transplanted organ as foreign tissue.

• Store Tacronol 2 MG Capsule 10 at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging to protect it from light and moisture.

• Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Since this medicine suppresses your immune system, avoid close contact with people who have active infections and wash your hands frequently.
