tacrolimus 0.25 mg

For patients undergoing a life-saving organ transplant, one of the most critical steps after surgery is ensuring the body accepts the new organ. Tacrolimus 0.25 mg, the active ingredient in TACRENOLIME 0.25, plays a vital role in this journey. It is a powerful immunosuppressant used to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ such as a liver, kidney, or heart. Manufactured by Steris Healthcare, TACRENOLIME 0.25 offers precision, purity, and peace of mind — three things every patient deserves after an organ transplant.

What is TACRENOLIME 0.25?

TACRENOLIME 0.25 is a prescription immunosuppressant capsule that contains tacrolimus 0.25 mg, a highly effective medication used after solid organ transplantation. It helps lower the body's immune response to prevent it from attacking the newly transplanted organ.

Unlike many general medicines, tacrolimus requires accurate dosing, strict quality control, and patient-centered manufacturing. TACRENOLIME 0.25 meets these standards, ensuring transplant patients receive a product they can trust during one of the most crucial phases of recovery.

Tacrolimus 0.25 mg – How It Works

Tacrolimus works by suppressing specific white blood cells (T-lymphocytes) that are primarily responsible for organ rejection. By limiting the immune response, tacrolimus 0.25 mg allows the transplanted liver, kidney, or heart to function properly without being attacked by the body.

Its precise action ensures organ acceptance while reducing the risk of full-blown immune rejection, which can be life-threatening. This mechanism makes tacrolimus a cornerstone of modern transplant medicine.

Uses of TACRENOLIME 0.25 (tacrolimus 0.25 mg)

The primary use of TACRENOLIME 0.25 is:

• To prevent rejection of a transplanted organ such as a liver, kidney, or heart.

It may also be used in combination with other immunosuppressants like corticosteroids or mycophenolate to enhance efficacy and reduce overall rejection risk.

Benefits for Patients

For transplant recipients, life post-surgery is filled with both hope and caution. TACRENOLIME 0.25 offers several patient-centric benefits:

• Smooth post-transplant recovery by minimizing the risk of rejection

• Accurate low-dose formulation suitable for initiation or dose adjustments

• Reduced hospital readmissions due to better organ acceptance

• Improved long-term graft survival with continuous use under medical supervision

Patients often experience peace of mind knowing they’re on a medication that is central to their recovery plan and life ahead.

Dosage and Administration

Tacrolimus 0.25 mg should always be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Generally:

• It is taken twice daily, 12 hours apart.

• It should be taken on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after food.

• The capsule should be swallowed whole with water.

• Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice as it may interfere with absorption.

Frequent blood monitoring is necessary to adjust the dose and ensure the drug remains within the therapeutic range.

Precautions and Monitoring

Because tacrolimus affects the immune system, regular monitoring is vital. Patients should be aware of the following:

• Avoid contact with sick individuals to prevent infections

• Blood pressure, blood sugar, and kidney function must be monitored regularly

• Inform the doctor about all ongoing medications to avoid interactions

• Avoid sunlight exposure; tacrolimus may increase skin sensitivity

Common Side Effects of Tacrolimus

Though effective, tacrolimus may cause some side effects, especially in the beginning:

• Tremors or shakiness

• Headache

• High blood pressure

• Nausea or stomach discomfort

• Kidney function changes

• Increased risk of infections

Most of these side effects can be managed under medical supervision. It's important not to stop or adjust the dose without consulting a healthcare provider.
