Tacsis Ointment 10gm uses Prevent organ transplant rejections

Tacsis 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. Common Swelling in the arm or leg Hair loss Itchy skin Constipation, diarrhoea Nausea, vomiting Anemia Headache Cough Serious Increased or decreased heartbeats GI bleeding Liver Injury Seizure Acute kidney failure Lung infection or respiratory problems

Use this medicine as a long-term treatment to prevent organ rejection after a transplant. Do not stop using it without your doctor’s advice.
