Tocyl 0.5 Capsule 10's Substitute

Tocyl 0.5 Capsule 10's contains Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant that works by the activity of T and B lymphocytes (cells in the immune system) that normally attacks foreign invaders and defend the body against foreign cells and infection. As a result, it helps the body accept the new organ and prevents organ rejection in patients who have had organ transplants.

Tocyl 0.5 Capsule 10's may increase the risk of infections as it may weaken the immune system. Therefore, consult a doctor immediately if you have any signs of infection, such as sore throat or fever.

Tocyl 0.5 Capsule 10's may increase the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, avoid or limit exposure to the sun for a long time or artificial light such as tanning beds. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen before going out in the sun.

If you are about to receive any vaccinations, especially live vaccines such as measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), oral polio, varicella, yellow fever, intranasal influenza, BCG and TY21a typhoid vaccines, inform your doctor that you are taking Tocyl 0.5 Capsule 10's because it may reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine and increase your risk of contracting the infection that the vaccine is meant to protect against.

Using Tocyl 0.5 Capsule 10's with Sirolimus is not recommended in patients who have had heart or liver transplants. It is unknown if kidney transplant recipients can use it safely. Hence, please seek medical advice before combining Tocyl 0.5 Capsule 10's with other medications.
