Advagraf 1mg Capsule

Product Description

Advagraf 1mg Capsule contains tacrolimus, an immunosuppressive medication used primarily to prevent organ rejection in patients who have undergone a kidney, liver, or heart transplant. In order to stop the immune system from attacking the transplanted organ, it suppresses it.

If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, liver, kidney, or heart problems, let your doctor know before using this drug. You should also let them know about any other medications you are taking. Immunosuppressants may increase your chance of developing skin cancer, therefore limit your exposure to the sun and UV light.
