Tacrolimus works by suppressing the immune system, allowing the body to accept the transplanted organ. This medication is often prescribed as part of a broader treatment plan to ensure the success of the transplant procedure.

It's important to monitor these effects and consult a healthcare provider if they become severe or persistent.

What precautions apply to Tacrolimus?

ADVAGRAF 3 MG should be handled with care, as it is an immunosuppressant. Patients should avoid activities that increase the risk of infection and follow a balanced diet to support overall health. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor kidney function and drug levels in the blood.
