WHAT TACROLIMUS
ACTAVIS IS USED FOR
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 Actavis stops this
attack; it is very important to take
Tacrolimus Actavis given to you
by your doctor regularly so that
your new liver, kidney, lung or
heart will not be attacked or
rejected.
If you have been taking other
medicines for this purpose, but
are still feeling unwell, your
doctor may change your
treatment and begin giving you
Tacrolimus Actavis.
Tacrolimus Actavis contains the
active ingredient tacrolimus,
which is an immunosuppressive
agent.
Your doctor may have prescribed
Tacrolimus Actavis for another
reason. Ask your doctor if you
have any questions about why
this medicine has been
prescribed for you.

Tacrolimus is a macrolide lactone with potent
_in vitro _
and
_in vivo _
immunosuppressive
activity.
Studies
suggest
that
tacrolimus
inhibits
the
formation
of
cytotoxic
lymphocytes which are regarded as being primarily responsible for
graft rejection.
Tacrolimus
suppresses
T-cell
activation
and
T-helper-cell-dependent
B-cell
proliferation, as well as the formation of lymphokines such as
interleukins-2 and -3
and
gamma-interferon
and
the
expression
of
the
inter
