Tacrograf 0.5 mg Capsule belongs to a group of anti-rejection medicines prescribed after an organ transplant. Given alongside other immunosuppressant drugs, it reduces the immune system's attack on the newly placed organ. The dose here is small and specific, so take it exactly as your transplant doctor has prescribed.
Product Information
How It Works
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.
Dosage & How to Use
- ✦ Swallow the capsule whole; a glass of plain water is enough.
- ✦ The dose you need depends on your body weight and the transplanted organ.
- ✦ Timing should stay consistent each day, with meals handled the way your doctor advises.
- ✦ Grapefruit, whether as fruit or juice, pushes tacrolimus levels up and should be left out of the diet.
- ✦ Expect regular lab visits, since trough readings guide dose changes.
Side Effects
- ✦ Shaky hands are among the first things many patients notice.
- ✦ Watch your blood pressure at home, as readings can creep upward on this medicine.
- ✦ Kidney values may wander a little while the dose is still being settled.
- ✦ Catching colds and other everyday infections becomes somewhat easier than before.
- ✦ Headache, nausea or disturbed sleep are reported by a share of patients on this medicine.
Storage
- ✦ Capsules stay in the original blister until you take one.
- ✦ Anywhere cool and dry works, as long as the temperature stays under 25°C.
- ✦ Children and pets should have no way of reaching it.
- ✦ Hand back leftovers or expired strips at the pharmacy instead of binning them at home.
