WHAT ADVAGRAF
® IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Advagraf

contains the active substance tacrolimus. It is an immunosuppressant.
Following your

to reject the new organ. Advagraf

is used to control your body’s immune response, enabling your body
to accept the transplanted organ.
You may also be given Advagraf
®
for an ongoing rejection of your transplanted liver, kidney, heart or
other organ when any previous treatment you were taking was unable to
control this immune response
after your transplantation.
Advagraf
®
is used in adults.
