WHAT ENVARSUS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Envarsus contains the active substance tacrolimus. It is an
immunosuppressant. Following your kidney
or liver transplant, your body’s immune system will try to reject
the new organ.
Envarsus is used to control your body’s immune response, enabling
your body to accept the
transplanted organ.
You may also be given Envarsus 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.
Envarsus is used in adults.
