Tacrolimus 2mg Capsules
SKU GME671Product Introduction
Tacrolimus 2mg is an oral calcineurin-inhibitor immunosuppressant used with other medicines to prevent rejection after organ transplantation. Treatment is adjusted to the transplanted organ, time since transplantation and measured blood concentrations.
How to use
Swallow capsules intact at consistent times and keep the same relationship to meals each day. Immediate-release and prolonged-release tacrolimus have different schedules and must not be interchanged without transplant-team supervision.
How it works
Binding to FKBP-12 inhibits calcineurin, reducing interleukin-2 signalling and activation of T lymphocytes involved in graft rejection.
Side effects
Tremor, headache, diarrhoea, high blood pressure, increased blood glucose and changes in kidney function or potassium may occur.
Important information
Serious infection and malignancy risks accompany immunosuppression. Avoid grapefruit; review antibiotics, antifungals, cannabidiol and ritonavir-containing medicines for major interactions. Blood levels, kidney function, glucose and electrolytes need monitoring.
Uses
- Prevention of organ-transplant rejection
Benefits
Helps protect the transplanted organ as part of a coordinated anti-rejection regimen.
Why is blood drawn before a dose?
A trough sample helps the transplant team interpret exposure and adjust treatment accurately.
Can I change the capsule brand or release type?
Arrange any switch through the transplant team; absorption and dosing schedules can differ.
Does a hand tremor mean the level is too high?
Tremor can be dose-related, but a blood level and clinical assessment are needed.
Can I receive live vaccines?
Live vaccines are generally avoided during significant immunosuppression; the transplant team should plan vaccination.
What if I vomit after a capsule?
Contact the transplant team for timing-specific advice rather than automatically repeating it.
Can treatment stop once the transplant feels normal?
No. Rejection can develop without early symptoms when anti-rejection treatment is interrupted.
Does new high blood sugar matter?
Yes. Tacrolimus can contribute to diabetes after transplantation.
How should I protect my skin?
Limit ultraviolet exposure and use sun protection because immunosuppression increases skin-cancer risk.
