Takfa 1mg Capsule

Product Description

Takfa 1mg Capsule contains Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressive drug primarily used to prevent organ transplant rejection and to treat autoimmune diseases. Tacrolimus functions by suppressing T-lymphocyte activity, which is in charge of immunological responses that can result in autoimmune reactions or the rejection of donated organs.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor about any kidney, liver, heart problems, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Limit sun exposure, as immunosuppressants may increase the risk of skin cancer.
