Advagraf 0.5mg Capsule

Product Description

Advagraf 0.5mg Capsule PR is used along with other medicines to prevent your body from rejecting a new organ (e.g., liver, kidney, or heart) after transplant. It does so by weakening your bodys immune system, so it does not attack the new organ. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as immunosuppressants.

The amount of Advagraf 0.5mg Capsule PR you take and how often you take it depends on the type of transplant you have, your body weight, and what other medicines you are taking. Follow your doctors instructions carefully. You should take it on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Take this medicine regularly to get the maximum benefit and keep taking it, even if you feel well. If you stop taking it, you may increase the chances of rejecting your transplanted organ.

Advagraf 0.5mg Capsule PR has many potential side effects. It can cause or worsen diabetes and kidney problems. These need urgent medical attention. Other common side effects include tremor, infections, high blood pressure, headache, and insomnia. If the side effects do not go away or get worse, tell your doctor. Advagraf 0.5mg Capsule PR lowers your immune system making you susceptible to catching more infections than usual.

Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart problems, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Also let your doctor know what other medications you are taking, especially for infections, pain, and arthritis. These and others may affect, or be affected by, this medicine. You should limit your exposure to the sun and UV (ultraviolet) light while taking it because immunosuppressants could increase your risk of skin cancer.

Both men and women using this medicine should use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy. This medicine is not normally recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless it is clearly needed. Before and during treatment you will need frequent medical tests to monitor your progress, and your blood pressure will need to be checked often.

How Advagraf 0.5mg Capsule Works

Advagraf 0.5mg Capsule contains tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant that helps prevent your immune system from attacking transplanted organs, such as the kidney or liver. By reducing immune activity, it lowers the risk of organ rejection and helps maintain organ function after a transplant.


Proper Usage and Dosage Guidelines

Take Advagraf 0.5mg Capsule exactly as prescribed by your physician. It should be taken orally once daily in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach to enhance absorption. Do not alter your dose or skip tablets without consulting your healthcare provider, as this may impact transplant outcomes.


Safety, Storage, and Precautions

This medication is not suitable for patients with known hypersensitivity to tacrolimus or macrolides. Store the capsules below 25C and protect them from moisture. Always keep the blister strip unopened until use, and ensure the medicine is out of reach of children.
