Medicine information
Uses & overview
TACRENOLIME 1 Capsule contains Tacrolimus 1 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 specific immune-system responses that may cause the body to recognize and attack a transplanted organ. Tacrolimus may be prescribed following kidney, liver, or heart transplantation, depending on the patient's individual treatment plan. The appropriate 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 1 is a product of Steris Healthcare and contains Tacrolimus 1 mg per capsule. It is a prescription immunosuppressant that should be used only under the supervision of a transplant specialist. Regular blood tests are important to monitor tacrolimus levels, kidney function, liver function, electrolytes, and other relevant parameters.
How to use
Take TACRENOLIME 1 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. Take tacrolimus consistently at the same times each day and maintain a consistent relationship to meals. Food can affect tacrolimus absorption, so do not change your usual administration routine without discussing it with your doctor. Do not stop TACRENOLIME 1 or change the dose without medical advice. Missing doses or discontinuing immunosuppressive treatment can increase the risk of organ rejection. Your doctor will monitor tacrolimus blood concentrations and adjust the dose when necessary.
