Tacmod Ointment 30gm

Tacmod Ointment 30gm contains tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant belonging to the calcineurin inhibitors class. Used alongside other medicines, it helps prevent organ transplant rejection in patients receiving liver, kidney, heart, or other transplants. It works by controlling the body's immune response, allowing it to accept the transplanted organ.

Tacmod Ointment 10gm 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.

Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all drugs cause side effects, not everyone gets them.
