Takfa 0.5mg Capsule

About

Takfa 0.5mg Capsule contains Tacrolimus as its active ingredient. It is an immunosuppressant belonging to the class of calcineurin inhibitors. This medication is used in combination with other drugs to prevent organ rejection in patients undergoing liver, kidney, heart, or other organ transplants. It works by suppressing the immune system to help the body accept the transplanted organ.

Do not take Takfa 0.5mg Capsule if you are allergic to Tacrolimus or any of its components. Inform your doctor if you have a known allergy to any group of antibiotics. Also, let your physician know if you have a history of liver or heart disease before starting treatment.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as fever, unexplained bruising (which may appear as red spots), fatigue, confusion, yellowing of the skin or eyes, reduced urine output, vision changes, or seizures after taking this medication.

While using Takfa 0.5mg Capsule, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and UV rays. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen with a high SPF, as immunosuppressive therapy can increase the risk of skin cancer. This medication may also cause diarrhea; inform your doctor if it persists for more than a day. If you require any vaccinations during treatment, consult your doctor beforehand.
