Tacrolimus? Tarolimus is a common misspelling of tacrolimus.
Tacrolimus (Prograf®, Protopic®) is a medication that is available by prescription only and helps prevent the body from rejecting a newly transplanted heart, liver, or kidney. It is also approved to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in people who have not responded adequately to other treatment.
This medicine works by suppressing the immune system, making it less active. To help ensure a safe treatment process, make sure to tell your healthcare provider about any other medical problems you might have, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or any kind of infection, as well as any other medications, vitamins, or supplements you are taking.
