✅ Description:

Tacrograf contains tacrolimus, which binds to the intracellular protein FKBP-12. This binding forms a complex with calcium, calmodulin, and calcineurin, thereby inhibiting calcineurin's phosphatase activity.

Key pharmacological effects:

  1. Cytokine inhibition: Reduces the expression and/or production of cytokines, including:
    • IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10
    • γ-Interferon
    • Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)
  2. Immune suppression:
    • Inhibits activation and proliferation of T-lymphocytes.
    • Suppresses T-helper cell-dependent B-cell responses.
    • Reduces nitric oxide release and induces apoptosis.

Outcome: Prevents immune-mediated rejection of transplanted organs

  • Begin the initial dose 6 hours after transplantation for liver, heart, or lung transplants.
  • For kidney transplants, administer within 24 hours of transplantation after ensuring renal function recovery.
  • Target trough concentrations of tacrolimus in the blood should guide dose adjustments.
✔️ Important Notes:
  • Use of tacrolimus should be individualized based on transplant type, patient condition, and concurrent immunosuppressive therapy.
  • Patients with hepatic or renal impairment may require dose modifications.
  • Consult your physician for detailed guidance based on the specific transplant scenario.

  • Recommendation: Monitor tacrolimus levels and adjust the dose as necessary.

CYP3A4 Inducers:

  • Decrease tacrolimus concentrations.

  • Hypersensitivity:
    • To tacrolimus or HCO-60 (polyoxyl 60 hydrogenated castor oil).
✔️ Overdose Effects:
  • Acute overdose symptoms:
