Modigraf because the active substance in Modigraf may stick to PVC.
Carefully open the prescribed number of sachets, e.g. with a pair of
scissors at the point indicated with an arrow.
Hold the opened sachet between thumb and index finger above the cup
with the open side of the sachet facing
downwards. Gently tap on the closed end of the sachet and pour the
contents of each sachet into the glass or cup
containing the water. Do not use any utensils or liquids to empty the
sachet. If you follow these instructions, you will
get the right amount of granules from the sachet. It is normal that
some granules stay behind; the sachet was
designed that way.
Stir, or swirl gently until the granules have been suspended
completely. The suspension can be drawn up with
a syringe or swallowed directly by the patient. The liquid has a sweet
taste. Rinse the glass or cup once with the
same amount of water and drink this, too. The liquid should be drunk
immediately after preparation.
IF YOU TAKE MORE MODIGRAF THAN YOU SHOULD
If you have accidentally taken too much Modigraf, contact your doctor
or nearest hospital emergency department
immediately.
IF YOU FORGET TO TAKE MODIGRAF
Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten individual doses.
If you have forgotten to take your Modigraf, wait until it is time for
the next
dose, and then continue as before.
IF YOU STOP TAKING MODIGRAF
Stopping your treatment with Modigraf may increase the risk of
rejection
of your transplanted organ.
Do not stop your treatment unless your doctor tells you to do so.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask
your
doctor or pharmacist.

Modigraf reduces your body’s defence mechanism (immune system),
which will not be as good at fighting infections.
Therefore, you may be more prone to infections while you are taking
Modigraf.
Severe effects may occur, including allergic and anaphylactic
reactions (a very serious
