WHAT TACROLIMUS SANDOZ IS USED FOR This medicine is used in combination with your liver, kidney, lung or heart transplant. It contains the active ingredient tacrolimus._ _ Tacrolimus belongs to a group of medicines called macrolide lactones. You have been given a new transplanted liver or kidney, lung or heart from another person because your own was no longer healthy. Your body recognises that this new organ is different from your organs and will try to reject it by attacking it in the same way that it would attack germs that enter your body. This could make you become ill again. Tacrolimus Sandoz, which is an immunosuppressive agent, works by stopping this attack; it is very important to take Tacrolimus Sandoz given to you by your doctor regularly so that your new liver, kidney, lung or heart will not be attacked or rejected.
