Contents of the pack and other information
WHAT PROGRAF IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Prograf belongs to a group of medicines called immunosuppressants.
Following your organ transplant (e.g. liver, kidney, heart), your
body’s
immune system will try to reject the new organ. Prograf is used to
control
your body’s immune response enabling your body to accept the
transplanted
organ.
Prograf is often used in combination with other medicines that also
suppress
the immune system.
You may also be given Prograf for an ongoing rejection of your
transplanted liver, kidney, heart or other organ or if any previous
treatment
you were taking was unable to control this immune response after your
transplantation.
