Product Description
Product introduction
Keygraf 2 Capsule 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 Keygraf 2 Capsule 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.
Mechanism and FunctionKeygraf 2 Mg Capsules function as an immunosuppressant, weakening the body's immune response to prevent rejection of transplanted organs such as kidneys or liver. Tacrolimus, the active ingredient, works by inhibiting immune cells that can attack the new organ, thus supporting the long-term success of the transplant.
Proper Administration and DosageThis prescription-only capsule should be taken orally, once daily at the same time, with or without food. Carefully follow the dosage prescribed by your physician, as adjusting it without medical advice can increase the risk of side effects or reduce effectiveness. Consistency in intake helps maintain stable blood levels of the medicine.
Storage and Shelf LifeStore Keygraf capsules in a cool place below 25C, away from moisture and direct light to preserve their potency. With a shelf life of 24 months, always check the expiry date on the packaging before use. Improper storage may compromise both the safety and efficacy of the medicine.
