Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule

Description

ABOUT PANGRAF 0.5MG CAPSULE

Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule is a medicine that stops organ rejection after kidney, liver, and heart transplants. It contains Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant that reduces the activity of T and B lymphocytes, which are immune cells that typically attack foreign cells. Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule helps the body accept the new organ by suppressing these cells.

You should take Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage depends on the type of transplant, your body weight, and other medications you may be taking. Taking this medication on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal, is essential. Continue taking it regularly to gain the maximum benefit and prevent organ rejection, even if you feel well. Stopping the medication can increase the risk of organ rejection.

Common side effects of Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule include nausea, diarrhoea, headache, kidney problems, infection, fever, constipation, and high blood pressure. Most side effects do not require medical attention and resolve over time. See your physician, though, if they continue or get worse. More severe side effects, such as diabetes, kidney problems, tremors, infections, high blood pressure, headache, and insomnia, require urgent medical attention.

Before taking Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule:

• Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, heart problems, diabetes, or high blood pressure.
• Disclose any other medications you are taking, as some can interact with the Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule.
• Limit your exposure to sunlight and UV light, as this medication can increase your risk of skin cancer.
• Avoid alcohol consumption and be cautious while driving, as this medication can cause vision problems or nervous disturbances.

Both men and women should use effective birth control while taking Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule to prevent pregnancy. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless necessary. Regular medical tests and frequent blood pressure monitoring are required to track your progress and manage potential complications during treatment.

If you are allergic to Tacrolimus or other Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule ingredients, inform your doctor. Additionally, if you plan to get vaccinated, consult your doctor, as this medication can increase the risk of infections due to its immunosuppressive properties.

HOW PANGRAF 0.5MG CAPSULE WORKS

Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule is an immunosuppressive agent that helps prevent organ rejection after a transplant. It works by blocking the release of certain chemicals, such as T-cells, which trigger the immune response. By suppressing the body’s immune functions, Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule enables the body to accept the transplanted organ, reducing the risk of graft rejection and increasing the survival of the new organ. When people receive an organ, their immune system sees it as foreign and attacks it. Pangraf 0.5mg Capsule suppresses this immune response, allowing the body to accept and maintain the transplanted organ.
