1.
WHAT TACFORIUS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tacforius 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. Tacforius is
used to control your body’s immune response, enabling your body to
accept the transplanted organ.
You may also be given Tacforius 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.
Tacforius is used in adults.
