Prograf 1 mg Capsule 10's belongs to a class of drugs called 'immunosuppressants' used to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) and prevent organ rejection after a transplant. Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema is a common skin condition associated with inflamed and itchy skin patches. The symptoms include itchy, dry, flaky, swollen, rough and irritated skin. Organ rejection occurs when a patient’s immune system recognizes the donor organ as foreign and tries to eliminate it. 

Prograf 1 mg Capsule 10's contains 'Tacrolimus' that works by suppressing the over-reaction of immune cells in the skin to a stimulus. Thereby, reduces allergic reaction and inflammation (redness and swelling). Also, Prograf 1 mg Capsule 10's suppresses T and B lymphocytes (cells in the immune system) that normally attacks foreign invaders and defend the body against foreign cells and infection. Thereby prevents organ rejection in transplanted patients and helps the body in accepting the new organ.

PROGRAF 0.5MG contains Tacrolimus which belongs to the group of medicines called immunosuppressants. It is used with other medicines to help prevent organ rejection in adults who had a kidney, liver or heart transplant. Following an organ transplant, our immune system will try to reject the newly transplanted organ. Tacrolimus controls our body’s immune response and enables it to accept the transplanted organ.

It may also be given during an ongoing rejection of transplanted liver, kidney, heart or other organ, when previous treatment was unable to control your immune response. Tacrolimus acts by inhibiting the activity of T-lymphocytes and cytokines. While taking this medicine, your doctor might recommend you, to do blood test, urine test, heart and eye tests, to set the correct dose.
