Medicinal Benefits:
Tacstead 1mg Capsule is used to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ, such as a liver, kidney, or heart.
Tacstead 1mg Capsule contains Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant that works by inhibiting the activity of T and B lymphocytes (cells in the immune system) that usually attack foreign invaders and defend the body against foreign cells and infection. As a result, it helps the body accept the new organ and prevents organ rejection in patients who have had organ transplants.
Tacstead 1mg Capsule may increase the risk of infections as it may weaken the immune system. Therefore, consult a doctor immediately if you have any signs of infection, such as a sore throat or fever.
Tacstead 1mg Capsule may increase the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, avoid or limit exposure to the sun for extended periods or artificial light such as tanning beds. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen before going out in the sun.
