TACROLIMUS -
Noun: An anti rejection drug used in transplants including bone marrow transplants. It suppresses the immune systems reaction against foreign tissue by inhibiting the activity of the white blood cells. In some cases, tacrolimus has been shown to cause diabetes. Consult your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of increased hunger, thirst and urination while taking this drug. Tacrolimus should not be taken within 24 hours of receiving cyclosporine or taken with grapefruit juice.
