⚠️ Important Notes
Prescription Only: Tacrolimus is a powerful prescription-only medication and should only be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider experienced in transplant management.5
Administration: It is typically taken twice daily, and often on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal).
Side Effects: Common side effects can include kidney problems, tremors, high blood pressure, and increased blood sugar levels. Due to the suppression of the immune system, there is also an increased risk of serious infections.
Monitoring: Regular blood tests are essential to monitor the drug's level in the body to ensure it is within the correct therapeutic range.
If you have a specific capsule and need to confirm its identity, it is best to consult a pharmacist or your doctor.
