I was wondering what are indications and side effects of tacrolimus prescription?

Tacrolimus: is used prophylactically (with other medications) to help prevent rejection of transplanted organs. Some side effects include ^'ed suseptibility to infections and certain malignancies. Your pharmacist can provide you a complete list of potential side effects.

Immunosuppressant: It is the most widely used immunosuppressant drug in the U.S. Usually given in combination with other meds to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ. Although it is efficacious, it has its own set of adverse effects including tremors, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and hair loss especially if the blood levels are too high. Bld tests are done to monitor the level.
