What is Prograf used for?
Prograf is the brand name for tacrolimus immediate release formulation. Prograf is an immunosuppressant that is used concomitantly with adrenal corticosteroids to prevent or treat rejection of your transplanted organ. Your body’s immune system is your defence system. Immunity is the way your body protects itself from infections and other foreign material. When you receive a transplant, your immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and will try to reject it. Prograf is an anti-rejection drug that helps your body accept your transplanted organ(s). Prograf may be taken with or without food. But it is best to be consistent. Once you decide when you are going to take it in relation to food, do it the same way each time. Swallow the capsules whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew the Prograf capsule. Prograf is not indicated for the use of rheumatoid arthritis in children younger than 18 years of age. Prograf should not be taken with grapefruit or grapefruit juice.
What Are The Possible Side Effects of Prograf?
Some of the common side effects of Prograf may include anxiety, constipation, edema (swelling) of the legs and arms, insomnia, tremor (shaking), especially of the hands. Some serious side effects include anemia (decreased red blood cells), diabetes (high blood sugar), hypertension (high blood pressure), infections of urinary tract, leukopenia (decreased white blood cells), liver problem, kidney problem, infections of upper respiratory tract (sinus, nose, throat), electrolyte disturbance (high/low blood levels of calcium, magnesium and/or phosphate).
