INDICATIONS
Prograf is used for preventing organ rejection in patients following liver, kidney, or heart transplant. It may be used along with other medicines. Prograf is an immunosuppressant. It blocks the action of certain blood cells (eg, T lymphocytes) that can cause the body to reject the transplanted organ.
INSTRUCTIONS
Use Prograf as directed by your doctor.
- Do not take Prograf in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
- Prograf is usually taken every 12 hours. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication.
- Prograf can lower the blood cells that help your body fight infections. This can make it easier for you to bleed from an injury or get sick from being around others who are ill. To be sure your blood cells do not get too low, your blood will need to be tested on a regular basis.
- Your kidney or liver function may also need to be tested.
- Continue to use Prograf even if you feel well. Do not miss any dose.
- Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may increase the risk of side effects from Prograf. Talk to your doctor before including grapefruit or grapefruit juice in your diet while taking Prograf.
- If you miss a dose of Prograf, contact your doctor right away.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Prograf.
STORAGE
Store Prograf at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 to 30 degrees C) away from heat and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Prograf out of the reach of children.

Some medical conditions may interact with Prograf. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

Some medicines may interact with Prograf. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, spironolactone) because the risk of high blood potassium levels may be increased

Important safety information:
- Prograf may cause drowsiness and dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Prograf with caution. Do not drive or perform other possible unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Do not change your dose of Prograf without first checking with your doctor.

- Check with your doctor before you drink alcohol while you are taking Prograf.
- Check with your doctor before you use a salt substitute or a product that has potassium in it.
- Prograf may lower the ability of your body to fight infection. Avoid contact with people who have colds or infections. Tell your doctor if you notice signs of infection like fever, sore throat, rash, or chills.
- Prograf may increase the risk of certain infections, especially inactive viral infections, including BK virus associated nephropathy and JC virus-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). These infections can lead to serious, sometimes fatal, outcomes. Contact your doctor right away if you experience clumsiness, weakness on one side of the body, trouble speaking (eg, word-finding difficulty, slurred speech), or loss of vision.
- Do not receive a live vaccine (eg, measles, mumps) while you are taking Prograf. Talk with your doctor before you receive any vaccine.

The risk is higher among black and Hispanic patients after a kidney transplant. High blood sugar may make you feel confused, drowsy, or thirsty. It can also make you flush, breathe faster, or have a fruit-like breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor right away.
- Lab tests, including blood counts, blood potassium and glucose levels, kidney function, heart function, and blood pressure, may be performed while you use Prograf. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Caution is advised when using Prograf in children; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially lymphoma.
- Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Prograf has been shown to cause harm to the fetus. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Prograf while you are pregnant. Prograf is found in breast milk. Do not breastfeed while taking Prograf.
