Product Details

Progra Tablets are designed to provide immunosuppressive therapy for patients who have undergone organ transplantation or are managing specific autoimmune diseases. The active ingredient, tacrolimus, works by suppressing the immune system to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs and to manage conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

Purposes

• Organ Transplantation: Used to prevent organ rejection in transplant recipients by suppressing the immune response.
• Autoimmune Diseases: Treats certain autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis by modulating immune system activity.

Warnings

• Monitoring: Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function, as well as blood pressure and blood sugar levels, is essential during treatment.
• Vaccinations: Avoid live vaccinations while on Progra, as the medication can impair your immune system’s ability to respond to vaccines.
• Grapefruit Interaction: Refrain from consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice, which can interact with tacrolimus and increase the risk of side effects.
• Pregnancy: Use effective contraception during treatment, as tacrolimus can harm an unborn baby.
