Product Introduction
Toromus 0.5mg capsule contains the active substance Tacrolimus. It is an immunosuppressant that belongs to the class of medications called calcineurin inhibitors. Tacrolimus is used along with other medicines to prevent organ transplant rejection in patients receiving liver, kidney, heart, or other transplants. It is also indicated to control the body's immune response, enabling it to accept the transplanted organ. Do not take Toromus 0.5mg capsule if you are allergic to tacrolimus or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. Report to your physician if you are allergic to any antibiotic group. Inform your doctor if you have had a liver or heart disease before initiating treatment. Notify your physician immediately if you develop fever, bruising under the skin (which may appear as red dots), unexplained tiredness, confusion, yellowing of the skin or eyes, reduced urine output, vision loss, and seizures after taking this medicine. Limit exposure to sunlight and UV light while consuming tacrolimus by wearing appropriate protective clothing and sunscreen with a high sun protection factor. This medicine may cause skin changes with immunosuppressive therapy. This medicine may cause diarrhoea; inform your physician if you have diarrhoea for over a day. If you need to receive any vaccinations, consult your doctor before accepting them.

How it works
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.
