Prograf 1mg Capsule (Tacrolimus) is an immunosuppressant medication used to prevent organ rejection in patients who have undergone kidney, liver, or heart transplants. Tacrolimus works by suppressing the body’s immune response, thereby reducing the risk of the immune system attacking the transplanted organ.

Each capsule contains 1mg of Tacrolimus, offering precise dosing to help maintain therapeutic drug levels. Prograf is an essential part of post-transplant therapy and is usually prescribed in combination with other immunosuppressive agents such as corticosteroids or mycophenolate mofetil.

Prograf is administered orally, typically twice daily, and dosing is individualized based on blood trough levels, body weight, and the type of transplant. Regular monitoring of Tacrolimus levels in the blood is critical to avoid under-immunosuppression (risk of rejection) or toxicity.

Common side effects include tremors, headache, nausea, high blood pressure, kidney function changes, and increased susceptibility to infections. Long-term use requires monitoring for nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and blood glucose levels due to the risk of developing diabetes post-transplant.

Store Prograf capsules at room temperature (below 30°C), in a dry place, protected from light and moisture.
