  • What is TACROLIMUS?
  • Tacrolimus weakens your body's immune system, to
    help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted
    organ such as a kidney. Organ rejection happens
    when the immune system treats the new organ as an
    invader and attacks it.
  • Tacrolimus is used together with other medicines
    to prevent your body from rejecting a heart,
    liver, or kidney transplant.
  • Tacrolimus may also be used for purposes not
    listed in this medication guide.
  • Warnings
  • Tacrolimus may increase your risk of developing a
    serious infection, lymphoma, or other cancers.
    Talk with your doctor about the risks and
    benefits of using tacrolimus.
  • Call your doctor right away if you have any signs
    of infection such as fever, chills, flu symptoms,
    cough, sweating, painful skin sores, skin warmth
    or redness, or muscle aches.
  • Before taking this medicine
  • You should not use this medicine if you are
    allergic to tacrolimus or hydrogenated castor
    oil, or if
  • you have used cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune,
    Gengraf) within the past 24 hours.

  • How should I take TACROLIMUS?
  • Follow all directions on your prescription label
    and read all medication guides or instruction
    sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your
    dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.
  • You may receive an injection of tacrolimus
    shortly after your transplant. Tacrolimus
    injection is given until you are ready to take
    the pill form of tacrolimus.
  • Take oral tacrolimus at the same time each day,
    with a full glass of water.
  • Read and carefully follow any Instructions for
    Use provided with your medicine. Ask your doctor
    or pharmacist if you do not understand these
    instructions.
  • Swallow the tablet or capsule whole and do not
    crush, chew, break, or open it.
  • Tacrolimus oral granules must be mixed with water
    right before you take them. Do not save this
    mixture for later use. Do not get the oral
    granule powder or mixture on your skin or in your
    eyes. If this happens, wash your skin with soap
    and water or rinse your eyes with water.
  • Take Astragraf XL or Envarsus XR in the morning
    on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or
  • 2 hours after a meal.
  • You may take Prograf with or without food, but
    take it the same way each time.
