Tacrolimus lowers the body's immune system

      Tacrolimus lowers the body's immune system. The immune system helps the body fight infections. The immune system can also fight or "reject" a transplanted organ such as a liver or kidney. This is because the immune system treats the new organ as an invader.

      The body produces white blood cells called lymphocytes to fight infection or foreign substances which have entered the body. Following an organ transplant your body's immune system recognizes the new organ as 'foreign' to you and will try to attack it with lymphocytes. This works by stopping the body from producing these lymphocytes and prevents the attack on the transplanted organ.

Indications for Tacrolimus :

      For use after allogeneic organ transplant to reduce the activity of the patient's immune system and so the risk of organ rejection. It was first for use in liver transplantation; this has been extended to include kidney, heart, small bowel, pancreas, lung, trachea, and skin, cornea, and limb transplants. It has also been used in a topical preparation in the treatment of severe atopic dermatitis.
