It inhibits immune system response and makes it less likely for your body to react against the organ. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully when taking the medicine.
Product Information
How It Works
Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive drug that prevents the activity of the immune system against the transplanted tissue. Its concentration in the bloodstream should remain within a certain range: lower concentrations may cause transplant rejection, while higher may overload kidneys. Dosage is determined in accordance with the laboratory findings and adjusted over time. So, blood samples are taken frequently in the first months after surgery.
Dosage & How to Use
- ✦ Swallow the capsule whole with water unless your doctor advises otherwise.
- ✦ Dosing is determined based on body weight and by transplant type.
- ✦ Take each dose consistently in relation to meals as directed by your doctor.
- ✦ Grapefruit and its juice may raise tacrolimus levels and is best avoided.
- ✦ Blood trough levels guide every dose change, so lab visits are routine.
Side Effects
- ✦ Tremors or minor shaking in hands often appear during early treatment.
- ✦ Blood pressure levels can rise and require regular monitoring at home.
- ✦ Kidney function tests might fluctuate while your doctor adjusts doses.
- ✦ Your overall risk for picking up common infections increases slightly.

- ✦ Capsules should be kept in their original blister strips till usage.
- ✦ Keep the room temperature below 25°C away from direct moisture.
- ✦ Avoid keeping this medicine inside humid places like bathroom shelves.
