Tacrograf 1 Capsule is used along with other medicines to prevent your body from rejecting a new organ (e.g., liver, kidney, or heart) after transplant. Tacrograf 1 Capsule is an immunosuppressant that works by suppressing your body's immune response following the transplant of an organ (e.g., liver, kidney, or heart). This helps your body to accept the new organ as if it were your own.
