Prescription RequiredAbout Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's
Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's belongs to a class of drugs called immunosuppressants used to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ such as a liver, kidney, or heart. Organ rejection occurs when a patient’s immune system recognizes the donor organ as foreign and tries to eliminate it.
Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's contains Tacrolimus, that works by suppressing the activity of T and B lymphocytes (cells in the immune system) that normally attacks foreign invaders and defend the body against foreign cells and infection. Thereby prevents organ rejection in transplanted patients and helps the body in accepting the new organ.
Take Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's as prescribed. You are advised to use Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, diarrhoea, headache, kidney problems, infection, fever, constipation or high blood pressure. Most of these side effects of Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Tacrolimus or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's. Avoid alcohol consumption with Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's. Drive only if you are alert, as Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's may cause some people vision problems or nervous disturbances. If you are about to get vaccinated, inform your doctor before taking Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's. Tacromus 2 mg Capsule 10's may increase the risk of infections or skin cancer as it lowers the body’s immune defence system.
