Takfa 1mg Capsule

Takfa 1mg Capsule contains tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant belonging to the class of calcineurin inhibitors. It is used alongside other medications to prevent organ transplant rejection in patients receiving liver, kidney, heart, or other transplants. The medicine works by controlling the body's immune response, enabling acceptance of the transplanted organ.

Prevent organ transplant rejections.

Takfa 1mg 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 Takfa 1mg Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. Do not open, break, crush, or chew the capsules. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Take these capsules on an empty stomach or at least 1 hour before or 2 to 3 hours after the meal.
