What is Astagraf Xl?

Astagraf Xl is a brand-name prescription drug that, in combination with basiliximab and mycophenolate, suppresses the immune system to prevent organ rejection after a kidney transplant. Tissues transplanted from one person to another are recognized by the body as a foreign invader. The body responds by attacking the transplanted tissue with an immune response. If the immune system successfully damages or kills the transplanted tissues, this is called tissue or organ rejection.

The active ingredient in Astagraf Xl, tacrolimus, however, “slows down” the immune system by blocking chemicals in the body that activate white blood cells, the cells that attack the newly transplanted organ.

Astagraf Xl is taken as a capsule once per day. A missed dose can be taken up to 14 hours after it should have been taken.

What are the side effects of Astagraf Xl?

Astagraf Xl suppresses the immune system, the first line of defense against infections. So Astagraf Xl lowers the body's ability to prevent or fight infections, putting patients at a higher risk of infections, including severe and life-threatening infections. Immune suppression also increases the risk of certain types of cancer, such as skin cancer or lymphoma.

Other side effects include diarrhea, headache, nausea, vomiting, constipation, swelling, tremors, fatigue, insomnia, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, nerve damage, and high blood calcium. Allergic reactions are rare.
