1. What is Prograf and what it is used for

Prograf belongs to a group of medicines called immunosuppressants. Following organ transplantation
(e.g. of liver, kidney, heart) the body's immune system will try to reject the
new organ. Prograf is used to control the body's immune response by putting
the latter in a condition to accept the transplanted organ.
Prograf is often used in association with other medicines that also suppress the immune
system.
You may also receive Prograf for an ongoing rejection of liver, kidney, heart or other transplanted organ
or if one of the treatments you were taking has proven unable to control such immune
response after transplantation.

2. Cosa deve sapere prima di usare Prograf

Non usi Prograf

  • Se è allergico (ipersensibile) a tacrolimus o a qualsiasi antibiotico appartenente alla sottoclasse degli antibiotici macrolidi (ad esempio, eritromicina, claritromicina, josamicina).
  • Se è allergico (ipersensibile) ad uno qualsiasi degli eccipienti (elencati al paragrafo 6) - in particolare all’olio di ricino poliossidrilato idrogenato o a sostanze simili. Avvertenze e precauzioniSi rivolga al medico, al farmacista o all’infermiere prima di usare Prograf
  • Mentre riceve Prograf il medico può richiederle di sottoporsi a una serie di esami (compresi quelli del sangue, delle urine, della funzionalità cardiaca, di controllo della vista e della funzionalità neurologica) di tanto in tanto. Tale procedura è abbastanza normale e aiuta il medico a decidere la dose più appropriata di Prograf per lei.
  • Per favore eviti di assumere qualunque rimedio di origine vegetale, per es. l’erba di San Giovanni ( Hypericum perforatum) o qualsiasi altro prodotto di origine vegetale dal momento che esso può modificare l’efficacia e la dose di Prograf che lei necessita di ricevere. Se ha dei

dubbi consulti per favore il medico prima di assumere qualsiasi prodotto o rimedio di origine
vegetale.

  • Se ha dei problemi epatici o ha avuto una malattia che può aver danneggiato il fegato, è pregato di farlo presente al medico dal momento che ciò può influenzare la dose di Prograf che deve assumere.
  • Se ha forti dolori addominali accompagnati o meno da altri sintomi, quali brividi, febbre, nausea e vomito.
  • Se ha diarrea per più di un giorno, lo riferisca al medico, perché può essere necessario adattare la dose di Prograf che le viene somministrata.
  • Se ha un’alterazione dell’attività elettrica del cuore, denominata “prolungamento dell’intervallo QT”.
  • Limiti l’esposizione al sole e ai raggi UV mentre è in terapia con Prograf indossando vestiti che la proteggono e utilizzando uno schermo solare con un fattore ad alta protezione. Tutto ciò a causa del rischio potenziale di variazioni maligne a livello della pelle causate dalla terapia immunosoppressiva.
  • Se necessita di sottoporsi a qualsiasi vaccinazione, ne informi prima il medico. Il medico la consiglierà su come meglio procedere.
  • È stato riportato che pazienti trattati con Prograf presentano un rischio aumentato di sviluppare disordini linfoproliferativi (vedere paragrafo 4). Chieda al medico informazioni specifiche relative a questi disordini.
  • se ha o ha avuto danni ai vasi sanguigni più piccoli, noti come microangiopatia trombotica/porpora trombotica trombocitopenica/sindrome emolitica uremica. Informi il medico se insorgono febbre, lividi sotto la pelle (che possono apparire come puntini rossi), stanchezza inspiegabile, confusione, ingiallimento della pelle o degli occhi, ridotta produzione di urina, perdita della vista e crisi convulsive (vedere paragrafo 4). Quando tacrolimus viene assunto insieme a sirolimus o everolimus, il rischio di sviluppare questi sintomi può aumentare.

Precauzioni per la manipolazione:
Durante la preparazione, si deve evitare il contatto diretto con qualsiasi parte del corpo come la cute o
gli occhi oppure l’inalazione delle soluzioni iniettabili, della polvere o dei granuli contenuti nei
prodotti a base di tacrolimus. In caso di contatto, lavi la cute e gli occhi.

Altri medicinali e Prograf
Informi il medico o il farmacista se sta assumendo, ha recentemente assunto o potrebbe assumere
qualsiasi altro medicinale, compresi quelli senza prescrizione medica e prodotti di origine vegetale.
Prograf non deve essere usato insieme a ciclosporina.

In caso di visita da un medico diverso dallo specialista in trapianti, riferisca che sta prendendo
tacrolimus. Il medico potrebbe doversi consultare con lo specialista in trapianti nel caso in cui lei
debba usare un altro medicinale che può aumentare o diminuire le concentrazioni di tacrolimus
nel sangue.

Le concentrazioni di Prograf nel sangue possono essere influenzate da altri medicinali che lei sta
prendendo e le concentrazioni nel sangue di altri medicinali che sta prendendo possono essere variate
dall’uso di Prograf, cosa che può richiedere un‘interruzione, un aumento o una diminuzione nella dose
di Prograf. Alcuni pazienti hanno manifestato aumenti delle concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel sangue
mentre prendevano altri medicinali. Ciò può causare gravi effetti indesiderati, quali problemi renali,
problemi del sistema nervoso e disturbi del ritmo cardiaco (vedere paragrafo 4).
Un effetto sulle concentrazioni di Prograf nel sangue può verificarsi molto presto dopo l’inizio
dell’uso di un altro medicinale, pertanto può essere necessario un monitoraggio frequente e continuato
della concentrazione di Prograf nel sangue nei primi giorni dopo aver iniziato l’altro medicinale e
frequentemente durante il trattamento con l’altro medicinale. Alcuni altri medicinali possono causare
una diminuzione delle concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel sangue, che può aumentare il rischio di rigetto
dell’organo trapiantato. In particolare, deve far presente al medico se assume o ha recentemente fatto
uso di medicinali contenenti principi attivi quali:

  • medicinali antifungini e antibiotici, in particolare i cosiddetti antibiotici macrolidi, utilizzati per trattare le infezioni, ad esempioketoconazolo, fluconazolo, itraconazolo, posaconazolo, voriconazolo, clotrimazolo, isavuconazolo, miconazolo, caspofungina, telitromicina, eritromicina, claritromicina, josamicina, azitromicina, rifampicina, rifabutina, isoniazide e flucloxacillina
  • letermovir, utilizzato per prevenire una malattia causata da CMV (citomegalovirus umano)
  • inibitori della proteasi HIV (ad esempio ritonavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir), il medicinale potenziatore cobicistat, e le combinazioni in compresse o gli inibitori non nucleosidici della trascrittasi inversa dell’HIV (efavirenz, etravirina, nevirapina), usati per trattare le infezioni da HIV
  • inibitori della proteasi HCV (ad esempio telaprevir, boceprevir, la combinazione ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir con o senza dasabuvir, elbasvir/grazoprevir, e glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) utilizzati per trattare l’infezione da epatite C
  • nilotinib e imatinib, idelalisib, ceritinib, crizotinib, apalutamide, enzalutamide o mitotano (utilizzati per il trattamento di determinati tipi di cancro)
  • acido micofenolico, utilizzato per inibire il sistema immunitario e prevenire il rigetto del trapianto
  • medicinali per l’ulcera gastrica o per il reflusso acido (ad esempio omeprazolo, lansoprazolo o cimetidina)
  • medicinali antiemetici, usati per curare la nausea e il vomito (ad esempio metoclopramide)
  • magnesio-alluminio-idrossido (antiacido), usato per trattare la pirosi gastrica
  • trattamenti ormonali con etinilestradiolo (quali la pillola contraccettiva) o danazolo
  • medicinali per la pressione sanguigna alta o per problemi cardiaci quali nifedipina, nicardipina, diltiazem e verapamil
  • medicinali antiaritmici (amiodarone) utilizzati per controllare le aritmie (battito irregolare del cuore)
  • medicinali noti come “statine’’ utilizzati per trattare colesterolo e trigliceridi alti
  • i medicinali antiepilettici carbamazepina, fenitoina o fenobarbital
  • metamizolo, utilizzato per il trattamento del dolore e della febbre
  • i corticosteroidi prednisolone o metilprednisolone
  • l’antidepressivo nefazodone
  • preparazioni di origine vegetale contenenti l’iperico (erba di San Giovanni, Hypericumperforatum) o estratti di Schisandra sphenanthera
  • cannabidiolo (gli usi includono, anche, il trattamento delle crisi convulsive).

Informi il medico se sta ricevendo un trattamento per l’epatite C. Il trattamento farmacologico per
l’epatite C può modificare la funzionalità del fegato e influire sulle concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel
sangue. Le concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel sangue possono diminuire o aumentare a seconda dei
medicinali prescritti per l’epatite C. Il medico potrebbe dover monitorare attentamente le
concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel sangue e apportare i necessari aggiustamenti della dose di Prograf
dopo l’inizio del trattamento per l’epatite C.
Riferisca al medico se sta prendendo o deve prendere ibuprofene, amfotericina B, antibiotici
(cotrimossazolo, vancomicina o antibiotici aminoglicosidici, come gentamicina), o antivirali (ad
esempio aciclovir, ganciclovir, cidofovir, foscarnet). L’uso di tali farmaci insieme a Prograf può
aggravare eventuali problemi renali o del sistema nervoso.
Informi il medico se sta assumendo sirolimus o everolimus. Quando tacrolimus viene assunto insieme
a sirolimus o everolimus, il rischio di sviluppare microangiopatia trombotica, porpora trombotica
trombocitopenica e sindrome emolitica uremica può aumentare (vedere paragrafo 4).
Il medico ha anche bisogno di sapere se lei sta assumendo integratori di potassio oppure diuretici
risparmiatori di potassio (ad esempio, amiloride, triamterene o spironolattone), o gli antibiotici
trimetoprim o cotrimossazolo che possono aumentare i livelli di potassio nel sangue, alcuni
antidolorifici (i cosiddetti antinfiammatori non steroidei (FANS), ad esempio ibuprofene), gli
anticoagulanti, o i farmaci assunti per via orale per la cura del diabete, mentre è sottoposto al
trattamento con Prograf.
Se deve sottoporsi a vaccinazioni per favore ne informi prima il medico.

Prograf con cibi e bevande
Il pompelmo e il succo di pompelmo devono essere evitati durante l’utilizzo di Prograf.

Gravidanza e allattamento
Se è in corso una gravidanza, se sospetta o sta pianificando una gravidanza, o se sta allattando con
latte materno chieda consiglio al medico o al farmacista prima di prendere questo medicinale.
Nel corso di uno studio sono stati valutati gli esiti della gravidanza in donne trattate con tacrolimus e
in donne trattate con altri immunosoppressori. Sebbene le evidenze raccolte in questo studio non siano
sufficienti per trarre conclusioni, sono stati segnalati tassi più elevati di aborto spontaneo tra le
pazienti riceventi trapianto di fegato e di rene trattate con tacrolimus, come pure tassi più elevati tra le
pazienti riceventi trapianto di rene, di ipertensione persistente associata a perdita di proteine nelle
urine, che si sviluppa durante la gravidanza o nel periodo post-parto (una condizione chiamata pre-
eclampsia). Non è stato rilevato un maggior rischio di difetti alla nascita importanti associati all’uso di
Prograf.
Prograf è escreto nel latte materno. È perciò sconsigliato l’allattamento al seno durante la terapia con
Prograf.

Prograf contiene olio di ricino poliossidrilato idrogenato e etanolo

  • Prograf contiene olio di ricino poliossidrilato idrogenato che può portare a gravi reazioni allergiche in un limitato numero di pazienti. Se ha avuto in precedenza tale reazione, ne informi per favore il medico.
  • Prograf contiene l’81% in volume di etanolo (alcol) cioè fino a 638 mg per dose, pari a 16 ml di birra, 7 ml di vino per dose. La piccola quantità di alcol in questo medicinale non produrrà effetti rilevanti.

3. How to use Prograf

The initial dose to prevent rejection of the organ you have received will be established by the doctor
and calculated based on body weight. The initial intravenous dose immediately after transplantation will be
generally between the following values:
0.01 - 0.10 mg per kg of weight per day
based on the transplanted organ.
Prograf must be used in continuous infusion only after its dilution. You will always receive
Prograf as a continuous infusion lasting 24 hours and never in the form of a rapid injection.
Prograf may cause mild irritation if it is not infused directly into a vein.
Treatment with Prograf should not continue for more than 7 days. The doctor will then prescribe you
Prograf in capsule form.
Your dose depends on your general condition and which other immunosuppressive medicine you
are taking. You will be asked for blood tests on a regular basis in order to determine the correct dose
and to adjust this dose from time to time.

If you receive more Prograf than you should
If you have received too much Prograf, the doctor will correct the subsequent dosage.

If you stop taking Prograf
Stopping treatment with Prograf may increase the risk of rejection of the organ you have
received. Do not stop treatment unless the doctor tells you to do so.
If you have any doubts about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, Prograf can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Prograf reduces the body’s defenses to prevent it from rejecting the transplanted organ.
Consequently, the body will be less efficient than usual at fighting infections.
Therefore, if you are taking Prograf, you may contract more infections than usual, such as those of the
skin, mouth, stomach and intestines, lungs and urinary tract.
Some infections may be serious or fatal and can include infections caused by bacteria,
viruses, fungi, parasites or other infections.
Tell your doctor immediately if you experience signs of an infection, including:

  • Fever, cough, sore throat, feeling weak or generally unwell
  • Memory loss, difficulty thinking, difficulty walking or loss of vision - these may be due to a very rare and serious brain infection, which can be fatal (Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy or PML).

2. Cosa deve sapere prima di prendere Prograf

Non prenda Prograf

  • Se è allergico (ipersensibile) a tacrolimus o ad uno qualsiasi degli altri componenti di Prograf (elencati al paragrafo 6).
  • Se è allergico (ipersensibile) a qualsiasi antibiotico appartenente alla sottoclasse degli antibiotici macrolidi (ad esempio, eritromicina, claritromicina, josamicina). Avvertenze e precauzioniSi rivolga al medico o al farmacista prima di prendere Prograf
  • Lei dovrà assumere Prograf ogni giorno finché ha bisogno di una azione immunosoppressiva per evitare il rigetto dell’organo che le è stato trapiantato. Si consiglia un contatto costante con il medico.
  • Mentre sta prendendo Prograf il medico può richiederle di sottoporsi a una serie di esami (compresi quelli del sangue, delle urine, della funzionalità cardiaca, di controllo della vista e

della funzionalità neurologica) di tanto in tanto. Tale procedura è abbastanza normale e aiuterà
il medico a decidere la dose più appropriata di Prograf per lei.

  • Per favore eviti di assumere qualunque rimedio di origine vegetale, per es. l’erba di San Giovanni ( Hypericum perforatum) o qualsiasi altro prodotto di origine vegetale dal momento che esso può modificare l’efficacia e la dose di Prograf che lei necessita di ricevere. Se ha dei dubbi consulti per favore il medico prima di assumere qualsiasi prodotto o rimedio di origine vegetale.
  • Se ha dei problemi epatici o ha avuto una malattia che può aver danneggiato il fegato, è pregato di farlo presente al medico dal momento che ciò può influenzare la dose di Prograf che deve assumere.
  • Se ha forti dolori addominali accompagnati o meno da altri sintomi, quali brividi, febbre, nausea e vomito.
  • Se ha diarrea per più di un giorno, lo riferisca al medico, perché può essere necessario adattare la dose di Prograf che le viene somministrata.
  • Se ha un’alterazione dell’attività elettrica del cuore, denominata “prolungamento dell’intervallo QT”.
  • Limiti l’esposizione al sole e ai raggi UV mentre è in terapia con Prograf indossando vestiti che la proteggono e utilizzando uno schermo solare con un fattore ad alta protezione. Tutto ciò a causa del rischio potenziale di variazioni maligne a livello della pelle causate dalla terapia immunosoppressiva.
  • Se necessita di sottoporsi a qualsiasi vaccinazione, ne informi prima il medico. Il medico la consiglierà su come meglio procedere.
  • È stato riportato che pazienti trattati con Prograf presentano un rischio aumentato di sviluppare disordini linfoproliferativi (vedere paragrafo 4). Chieda al medico informazioni specifiche relative a questi disordini.
  • se ha o ha avuto danni ai vasi sanguigni più piccoli, noti come microangiopatia trombotica/porpora trombotica trombocitopenica/sindrome emolitica uremica. Informi il medico se insorgono febbre, lividi sotto la pelle (che possono apparire come puntini rossi), stanchezza inspiegabile, confusione, ingiallimento della pelle o degli occhi, ridotta produzione di urina, perdita della vista e crisi convulsive (vedere paragrafo 4). Quando tacrolimus viene assunto insieme a sirolimus o everolimus, il rischio di sviluppare questi sintomi può aumentare.

Precauzioni per la manipolazione:
Durante la preparazione, si deve evitare il contatto diretto con qualsiasi parte del corpo come la cute o
gli occhi oppure l’inalazione delle soluzioni iniettabili, della polvere o dei granuli contenuti nei
prodotti a base di tacrolimus. In caso di contatto, lavi la cute e gli occhi.

Altri medicinali e Prograf
Informi il medico o il farmacista se sta assumendo, ha recentemente assunto o potrebbe assumere
qualsiasi altro medicinale, compresi quelli senza prescrizione medica e prodotti di origine vegetale.
Prograf non deve essere preso insieme a ciclosporina.

In caso di visita da un medico diverso dallo specialista in trapianti, riferisca che sta prendendo
tacrolimus. Il medico potrebbe doversi consultare con lo specialista in trapianti nel caso in cui lei
debba usare un altro medicinale che può aumentare o diminuire le concentrazioni di tacrolimus
nel sangue.

Le concentrazioni di Prograf nel sangue possono essere influenzate da altri medicinali che lei sta
prendendo e le concentrazioni del sangue di altri medicinali che sta prendendo possono essere variate
dall’assunzione di Prograf, cosa che può richiedere un’interruzione, un aumento o una diminuzione
nella dose di Prograf.
Alcuni pazienti hanno manifestato aumenti delle concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel sangue mentre
prendevano altri medicinali. Ciò può causare gravi effetti indesiderati, quali problemi renali, problemi
del sistema nervoso e disturbi del ritmo cardiaco (vedere paragrafo 4).
Un effetto sulle concentrazioni di Prograf nel sangue può verificarsi molto presto dopo l’inizio
dell’uso di un altro medicinale, pertanto può essere necessario un monitoraggio frequente e continuato
della concentrazione di Prograf nel sangue nei primi giorni dopo aver iniziato l’altro medicinale e
frequentemente durante il trattamento con l’altro medicinale. Alcuni altri medicinali possono causare
una diminuzione delle concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel sangue, che può aumentare il rischio di rigetto
dell’organo trapiantato. In particolare, deve far presente al medico se assume o ha recentemente fatto
uso di medicinali contenenti principi attivi quali:

  • medicinali antifungini e antibiotici, in particolare i cosiddetti antibiotici macrolidi, utilizzati per trattare le infezioni, ad esempio ketoconazolo, fluconazolo, itraconazolo, posaconazolo, voriconazolo, clotrimazolo, isavuconazolo, miconazolo, caspofungina, telitromicina, eritromicina, claritromicina, josamicina, azitromicina, rifampicina, rifabutina, isoniazide e flucloxacillina
  • letermovir, utilizzato per prevenire una malattia causata da CMV (citomegalovirus umano)
  • inibitori della proteasi HIV (ad esempio, ritonavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir), il medicinale potenziatore cobicistat, e le combinazioni in compresse o gli inibitori non nucleosidici della trascrittasi inversa dell’HIV (efavirenz, etravirina, nevirapina), usati per trattare le infezioni da HIV
  • inibitori della proteasi HCV (ad esempio, telaprevir, boceprevir, la combinazione ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir con o senza dasabuvir, elbasvir/grazoprevir, e glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) utilizzati per trattare l’epatite C
  • nilotinib e imatinib, idelalisib, ceritinib, crizotinib, apalutamide, enzalutamide o mitotano (utilizzati per il trattamento di determinati tipi di cancro)
  • acido micofenolico, utilizzato per inibire il sistema immunitario e prevenire il rigetto del trapianto
  • medicinali per l’ulcera gastrica o per il reflusso acido (ad esempio omeprazolo, lansoprazolo o cimetidina)
  • medicinali antiemetici, usati per curare la nausea e il vomito (ad esempio metoclopramide)
  • magnesio-alluminio-idrossido (antiacido), usato per trattare la pirosi gastrica
  • trattamenti ormonali con etinilestradiolo (quali la pillola contraccettiva) o danazolo
  • medicinali per la pressione sanguigna alta o per problemi cardiaci quali nifedipina, nicardipina, diltiazem e verapamil
  • medicinali antiaritmici (amiodarone) utilizzati per controllare le aritmie (battito irregolare del cuore)
  • medicinali noti come ‘’statine’’ utilizzati per trattare colesterolo e trigliceridi alti
  • i medicinali antiepilettici carbamazepina, fenitoina o fenobarbital
  • metamizolo, utilizzato per il trattamento del dolore e della febbre
  • i corticosteroidi prednisolone o metilprednisolone
  • l’antidepressivo nefazodone
  • preparazioni di origine vegetale contenenti l’iperico (erba di San Giovanni, Hypericumperforatum) o estratti di Schisandra sphenanthera
  • cannabidiolo (gli usi includono, anche, il trattamento delle crisi convulsive).

Informi il medico se sta ricevendo un trattamento per l’epatite C. Il trattamento farmacologico per
l’epatite C può modificare la funzionalità del fegato e influire sulle concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel
sangue. Le concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel sangue possono diminuire o aumentare a seconda dei
medicinali prescritti per l’epatite C. Il medico potrebbe dover monitorare attentamente le
concentrazioni di tacrolimus nel sangue e apportare i necessari aggiustamenti della dose di Prograf
dopo l’inizio del trattamento per l’epatite C.
Riferisca al medico se sta prendendo o deve prendere ibuprofene, amfotericina B, antibiotici
(cotrimossazolo, vancomicina o antibiotici aminoglicosidici,come gentamicina), o antivirali (ad
esempio aciclovir, ganciclovir, cidofovir, foscarnet). L’uso di tali farmaci insieme a Prograf può
aggravare problemi renali o del sistema nervoso.
Informi il medico se sta assumendo sirolimus o everolimus. Quando tacrolimus viene assunto insieme
a sirolimus o everolimus, il rischio di sviluppare microangiopatia trombotica, porpora trombotica
trombocitopenica e sindrome emolitica uremica può aumentare (vedere paragrafo 4).
Il medico ha anche bisogno di sapere se lei sta assumendo integratori di potassio oppure diuretici
risparmiatori di potassio (ad esempio, amiloride, triamterene o spironolattone), o gli antibiotici
trimetoprim o cotrimossazolo che possono aumentare i livelli di potassio nel sangue, alcuni
antidolorifici (i cosiddetti antinfiammatori non steroidei (FANS), ad esempio ibuprofene), gli
anticoagulanti, o i farmaci assunti per via orale per la cura del diabete, mentre sta prendendo Prograf.
Se deve sottoporsi a vaccinazioni per favore ne informi prima il medico.

Prograf con cibi e bevande
Generalmente deve assumere Prograf a stomaco vuoto o almeno 1 ora prima oppure 2–3 ore dopo i pasti.
Il pompelmo e il succo di pompelmo devono essere evitati durante l’utilizzo di Prograf.

Gravidanza e allattamento
Se è in corso una gravidanza, se sospetta o sta pianificando una gravidanza, o se sta allattando con
latte materno chieda consiglio al medico o al farmacista prima di prendere questo medicinale.
Nel corso di uno studio sono stati valutati gli esiti della gravidanza in donne trattate con tacrolimus e
in donne trattate con altri immunosoppressori. Sebbene le evidenze raccolte in questo studio non siano
sufficienti per trarre conclusioni, sono stati segnalati tassi più elevati di aborto spontaneo tra le
pazienti riceventi trapianto di fegato e di rene trattate con tacrolimus, come pure tassi più elevati, tra le
pazienti riceventi trapianto di rene, di ipertensione persistente associata a perdita di proteine nelle
urine, che si sviluppa durante la gravidanza o nel periodo post-parto (una condizione chiamata pre-
eclampsia). Non è stato rilevato un maggior rischio di difetti alla nascita importanti associati all’uso di
Prograf.
Prograf è escreto nel latte materno. Perciò lei non deve allattare al seno durante la terapia con Prograf.

Guida di veicoli e utilizzo di macchinari
Non guidi e non usi strumenti o macchinari se avverte senso di instabilità o sonnolenza, oppure ha
problemi a vedere in maniera chiara dopo aver assunto Prograf. Questi effetti sono più frequentemente
osservati se Prograf viene assunto con bevande alcoliche.

Prograf contiene lattosio, sodio e lecitina (soia)
Prograf contiene lattosio. Se il medico le ha diagnosticato un’intolleranza ad alcuni zuccheri, lo
contatti prima di prendere questo prodotto medicinale.
Questo medicinale contiene meno di 1 mmol di sodio (23 mg) per capsula, cioè è essenzialmente
‘senza sodio’.
L’inchiostro di stampa usato nelle capsule di Prograf 0,5 mg e 1 mg contiene lecitina di soia. Se lei è
allergico alle arachidi o alla soia, chieda al medico per stabilire se può assumere questo medicinale.

3. How to take Prograf

Always take Prograf exactly as your doctor has told you. If you have any doubts, ask your doctor or
pharmacist.
Make sure you always receive the same formulation of tacrolimus when you pick up your prescription, unless
your transplant specialist has agreed to change the formulation of
tacrolimus.
This medicine must be taken twice a day. If the appearance of this medicine is not the
same as usual, or if the dosage instructions have changed, contact your doctor or pharmacist as soon as
possible to make sure you have received the correct medicine.
The initial dose to prevent organ rejection after transplantation will be determined by your doctor
and calculated based on your body weight. The initial dose immediately after transplantation will generally
be within the following range:
0.075-0.30 mg per kg of body weight per day
depending on the transplanted organ.
Your dose depends on your overall condition and any other immunosuppressant medicine you
are taking. You will be required to have regular blood tests to determine the correct dose
and to adjust this dose from time to time. Your doctor will generally reduce your dose of Prograf
once your condition has stabilized. Your doctor will tell you exactly how many capsules
to take and how often.
Prograf must be taken twice a day by mouth, usually in the morning and evening. Prograf
should generally be taken on an empty stomach or at least 1 hour before or 2-3 hours after meals.
The capsules must be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice must be avoided during the use of Prograf. Do not swallow the desiccant contained
in the aluminum foil wrapper.

If you take more Prograf than you should
If you have accidentally taken too much Prograf, consult your doctor or contact the emergency room of your
nearest hospital immediately.

If you forget to take Prograf
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed single dose.
If you have forgotten to take Prograf capsules, wait until the time of your next dose, and
then continue as usual.

If you stop taking Prograf
Stopping treatment with Prograf may increase the risk of rejection of your transplanted organ.
Do not stop treatment unless your doctor tells you to do so.
If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, Prograf can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Prograf reduces the body's defenses to prevent it from rejecting the transplanted organ.
Consequently, the body will be less efficient than usual at fighting off infections.
Therefore, if you are taking Prograf, you may get more infections than usual, such as those of the skin,
mouth, stomach and intestines, lungs and urinary tract.
Some infections may be serious or fatal and can include infections caused by bacteria,
viruses, fungi, parasites or other infections.
Tell your doctor immediately if you experience signs of an infection, including:

  • Fever, cough, sore throat, feeling weak or generally unwell
  • Memory loss, difficulty thinking, difficulty walking or loss of vision - these may be due to a very rare and serious brain infection, which can be fatal (Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy or PML)

Serious side effects can occur, including those listed below. Seek immediate medical attention if you have or think you have any of the following serious side effects:
Common serious side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):
