Tacograph 2 mg Capsule is an anti-rejection drug prescribed with other medicines to reduce the probability of rejection of a newly implanted organ. The drug acts on the immune response to increase tolerance to the new organ. Be sure to strictly follow all directions provided by your transplant doctor.
Product Information
How It Works
Tacrograf 2 mg Capsule is composed of tacrolimus that helps prevent the rejection of a transplanted kidney, liver, or heart. Consistent use of the medicine is important since any alteration in the regimen increases the chances of organ rejection. Your physician will be responsible for adjusting the dose according to your blood results.
Tacrolimus works by holding back the immune cells that would otherwise treat a donor organ as an intruder. What matters most with this medicine is the amount circulating in your blood: too low and rejection becomes a risk, too high and the kidneys may suffer for it. That is the reason dosing is reviewed against lab reports, particularly in the months right after transplant surgery.
