Keygraf 2mg Capsule

Keygraf 2mg Capsule contains tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant belonging to the calcineurin inhibitor class of medications. It is used alongside other medicines to prevent organ transplant rejection in patients receiving liver, kidney, heart, or other organ transplants. The capsule works by controlling your body's immune response, allowing it to accept the transplanted organ.

Prevent organ transplant rejections.

Keygraf 2mg Capsule provides immunosuppression by inhibiting T-lymphocyte activation and proliferation and T-helper-cell-dependent B-cell response. It works by attaching to a protein called FKBP-12 and forms a complex called tacrolimus-FKBP, which inhibits the action of calcineurin phosphatase. This, in turn, inhibits the formation of T cells and suppresses the immune response.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the treatment based on your disease condition, severity, and other factors. Always take Keygraf 2mg Capsule as prescribed by your doctor.
