Tacva-0.5 Capsule 10's

Tacva-0.5mg Capsule is used to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ, such as a liver, kidney, or heart. Organ rejection occurs when a patient’s immune system recognises the donor organ as foreign and tries to eliminate it.

Tacva-0.5mg Capsule contains Tacrolimus, which works by suppressing the activity of T and B lymphocytes (cells in the immune system) that usually attack foreign invaders and defend the body against foreign cells and infection. Thus, it prevents organ rejection in transplanted patients and helps the body to accept the new organ.

Take Tacva-0.5mg Capsule as prescribed. You are advised to use Tacva-0.5mg Capsule for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you based on your medical condition.

Tacva-0.5mg Capsule is used to treat various medical conditions. The detailed uses are as follows:

• Prevention of Organ Transplant Rejection: Tacva-0.5mg Capsule is used to stop the body from rejecting a transplanted kidney, liver, heart, or lung. It works by lowering the activity of certain immune cells that could attack the new organ. It is usually given along with other anti-rejection medicines.
• Other Off-Label Uses: In some cases, Tacva-0.5mg Capsule may be used for graft-versus-host disease (after bone marrow or stem cell transplant), autoimmune liver diseases (autoimmune hepatitis, lupus nephritis), autoimmune eye conditions (uveitis, scleritis), and other immune-related disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, or myasthenia gravis, particularly when standard treatments are not effective.

• Take Tacva-0.5mg Capsule at least 1 hour before or 2 to 3 hours after a meal or as advised by your doctor.
• Strictly follow your doctor's recommendation regarding the dosage and duration.
• Swallow it as a whole with water.
• Do not crush, break or chew it.

• Tacva-0.5mg Capsule belongs to the class of medicines called immunosuppressants, which reduce the activity of the body's immune system, and it contains Tacrolimus as the active ingredient.
• It works by lowering the activity of certain white blood cells (T-lymphocytes) that trigger immune reactions, helping to prevent the body from attacking transplanted organs and reducing harmful immune responses.
• It is used to prevent rejection of kidney, liver, heart, or lung transplants, usually along with other anti-rejection medicines.
• It may also be used for graft-versus-host disease, autoimmune liver conditions, autoimmune eye inflammation, and certain severe autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, or myasthenia gravis) when other treatments are not effective.
• It provides several benefits, including protecting transplanted organs from rejection, improving long-term transplant survival, reducing the need for high-dose steroids, managing severe immune reactions in certain diseases, and improving quality of life for transplant patients.
