Medicine information
Uses & overview
TACRENOLIME 0.25 Capsule contains Tacrolimus 0.25 mg, an immunosuppressive medicine used as part of combination therapy to help prevent organ rejection in patients who have undergone organ transplantation. Tacrolimus works by suppressing certain immune-system responses that can cause the body to attack a transplanted organ. Tacrolimus is commonly used following kidney, liver, or heart transplantation, depending on the patient's treatment protocol. The required dose is highly individualized and depends on the type of transplant, time since transplantation, tacrolimus blood concentration, kidney and liver function, other medicines being taken, and the patient's overall clinical condition. TACRENOLIME 0.25 is a product of Steris Healthcare and contains Tacrolimus 0.25 mg per capsule. It is a prescription immunosuppressant that should be taken only under the supervision of a transplant specialist. Regular blood tests are essential to monitor tacrolimus levels and assess kidney function, liver function, electrolytes, and other relevant parameters.
How to use
Take TACRENOLIME 0.25 exactly as prescribed by your transplant specialist. Swallow the capsule whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule unless specifically instructed by your healthcare professional. Tacrolimus should generally be taken consistently at the same times each day and in a consistent relationship to meals. Avoid changing the way you take it without consulting your doctor because food and certain beverages can affect tacrolimus absorption. Do not stop TACRENOLIME 0.25 or change the dose without medical advice. Missing doses or suddenly stopping immunosuppressive therapy can increase the risk of organ rejection. Your doctor will regularly monitor tacrolimus blood levels and may adjust your dose accordingly.
