๐งฌ About Prograf (Tacrolimus)
Prograf 1 mg is an immunosuppressive medication containing Tacrolimus, developed by Astellas Pharma. It is used in transplant patients to prevent the body from rejecting a newly transplanted kidney, liver, heart, or lung. Tacrolimus acts by inhibiting T-cell activation, which plays a major role in immune response.
This medicine is essential for long-term transplant survival and is frequently combined with other immunosuppressants for optimal results.
