Biomus 1 Capsule contains Tacrolimus (1mg), an immunosuppressant medication used primarily to prevent organ rejection in transplant recipients. It works by suppressing the body's immune system to prevent it from attacking the transplanted organ. Biomus 1 Capsule is often prescribed following organ transplants, including kidney, liver, or heart transplants, and is part of a comprehensive immunosuppressive regimen to ensure the success of the transplant.

Uses of Biomus 1 Capsule

• Prevention of organ rejection in kidney, liver, or heart transplant recipients.
• Treatment of autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
• Helps maintain the long-term function of transplanted organs.

How Biomus 1 Capsule Works

Biomus 1 Capsule works by inhibiting T-cell activation, which is crucial in the immune response that can lead to organ rejection. Tacrolimus suppresses the production of cytokines, which reduces immune activity and prevents the immune system from attacking the transplanted organ.

Benefits of Biomus 1 Capsule

• Reduces the risk of organ rejection after transplantation.
• Helps ensure the long-term success of transplanted organs.
• Effective in controlling autoimmune conditions.
• Provides a targeted approach to immune system suppression with fewer side effects than other immunosuppressants.
