Prograf (tacrolimus) weakens your body's immune system, to help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted organ such as a kidney. Organ rejection happens when the immune system treats the new organ as an invader and attacks it.

Prograf is a prescription medicine and is used together with other medicines to prevent your body from rejecting a heart, liver, or kidney transplant.

Prograf is supplied as oral capsules, granules for oral suspension, and as an injection for intravenous use.
