Prograf is an immunosuppressant approved for the prevention of rejection in people who have received a liver or kidney transplant. Anti-rejection medications like Prograf are essential to the success of transplantation. In fact, since approval for rejection prevention for liver transplantation in 1994, and for kidney transplant in 1997, Prograf has helped more than 100,000 people.
Prograf is ... being studied and developed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to Mayo Clinic, "researchers hope tacrolimus can help people with rheumatoid arthritis by stopping T cells from causing inflammation".
Some people receiving Prograf after a kidney transplant have developed diabetes. This effect has been seen most often in people who are Hispanic or African-American. Talk with your doctor about your individual risk of diabetes if you have concerns.
