Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive drug primarily used to prevent organ transplant rejection and to treat certain autoimmune diseases
Tacrolimus binds to the intracellular protein FKBP-12, forming a complex that inhibits calcineurin. This blocks the activation of T-cells by preventing the transcription of IL-2 and other cytokines, leading to immunosuppression.

Tacrolimus is generally more potent and has a lower risk of causing cosmetic side effects like gum hypertrophy and excessive hair growth compared to cyclosporine.
There is a theoretical risk due to immunosuppression, but current evidence is inconclusive. It carries a black box warning, so long-term use requires monitoring.
Tacrolimus has a narrow therapeutic window; levels too low risk rejection, too high-risk toxicity (especially kidney damage).
