About Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule
Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule is used to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ such as a liver, kidney, or heart. Organ rejection occurs when a patient’s immune system recognizes the donor organ as foreign and tries to eliminate it.
Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule contains Tacrolimus, which works by suppressing the activity of T and B lymphocytes (cells in the immune system) that normally attack foreign invaders and defend the body against foreign cells and infection. Thus, it prevents organ rejection in transplanted patients and helps the body in accepting the new organ.
Take Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule as prescribed. You are advised to use Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, diarrhoea, headache, kidney problems, infection, fever, constipation or high blood pressure. Most of these side effects of Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Tacrolimus or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule. Avoid alcohol consumption with Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule. Drive only if you are alert, as Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule may cause some people vision problems or nervous disturbances. If you are about to get vaccinated, inform your doctor before taking Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule. Nephrolimus 1mg Capsule may increase the risk of infections or skin cancer as it lowers the body’s immune defence system.
