WHAT ADVAGRAF IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Advagraf contains the active substance tacrolimus. It is an
immunosuppressant. Following your organ
transplant (liver, kidney), your body’s immune system will try 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.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE ADVAGRAF

ingredients of Advagraf (see

erythromycin,
clarithromycin, josamycin).
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
