A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital. It is given through a needle placed into one of your veins. The medicine must be injected slowly, so your IV tube will need to stay in place for 30 minutes.
You will only receive this medicine for a few days. Then your doctor will switch you to the oral (by mouth) form of tacrolimus.
This medicine comes with a patient information insert and patient instructions. Read and follow the instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
You should not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you are receiving this medicine. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice will increase the amount of medicine in the body.
