Is there a generic of Gengraf?

Gengraf is a branded generic prescription drug with the active ingredient cyclosporine (modified). Generic cyclosporine (modified) is also available from manufacturers such as Apotex and Teva, among others.

What is Gengraf?

Gengraf is a prescription drug taken as an oral gelcap or solution that suppresses the immune system to prevent organ rejection after a heart, kidney, or liver transplant. When an organ is transplanted into a person, the body's immune system recognizes it as foreign. Organ rejection is what happens when the immune system damages the transplanted organ enough to compromise its function.

Gengraf is also prescribed to treat active rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Psoriasis is  a condition in which skin cells build up to form hard, itchy patches. These are both conditions in which the body's immune system mistakes healthy tissue as foreign and tries to eliminate it from the body, causing swelling, stiffness, pain, or discomfort.

The active ingredient in Gengraf, cyclosporine (modified), stops the immune system by blocking one particular chemical in the body that “turns on” white blood cells, the cells that attack transplanted tissue, the joints, or the skin. The term “modified” means that the drug has been chaged so it can be better absorbed by the body. Regular cyclosporine and modified cyclosporine cannot be subsitituted for each other because they are absorbed differently.

Gengraf is taken as a capsule or oral solution.  Patients should avoid alcohol while taking Gengraf. Patients should also avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juices while taking Gengraf, as these citrus fruits can affect how Gengraf is absorbed and cause serious side effects. 

Before taking Gengraf, tell your doctor about all of the medications you take, including prescription and OTC drugs, as well as vitamins or supplements. Tell your doctor about all of the medical conditions you have. Make sure that all of your healthcare providers know you are taking cyclosporine.

While taking Gengraf, you should not get a live vaccine (such as MMR, rotavirus, typhoid, yellow fever, or chickenpox). Before getting a vaccine, tell your healthcare provider that you take cyclosporine. 

Avoid being around people who are sick or have infections. Tell your doctor right away if you have signs of an infection, such as fever, sore throat, cough, or trouble breathing.

What are the side effects of Gengraf?

Gengraf suppresses the immune system, the first line of defense against infections. So Gengraf lowers the body's ability to prevent or fight infections, putting patients at a higher risk of infections, including severe and life-threatening infections. Immune suppression also increases the risk of certain types of cancer, such as skin cancer or lymphoma.

Other side effects include high blood pressure, tremor, shaking, pimples, unwanted hair growth, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, swollen gums, headache, dizziness, leg cramps, numbness and tingling, and swelling of the extremities. Allergic reactions are rare, but get emergency medical attention if you have hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

This is not a complete list of side effects. Consult your doctor or healthcare professional for additional information and medical advice regarding other possible side effects or drug interactions. You can report negative side effects to the FDA.
