Tacrolimus

Tacrolimus is a medication that helps suppress the immune system to prevent it from attacking a transplanted organ, such as a kidney or liver. It works by inhibiting certain immune cells, reducing inflammation and rejection risk. Tacrolimus is commonly prescribed to transplant patients to ensure the new organ functions properly. It requires careful monitoring because, while it effectively prevents rejection, it can also cause side effects like infections or kidney problems if not managed properly. Overall, it's a critical drug in transplant medicine to improve long-term outcomes for organ recipients.
