Anti-rejection medication

Anti-rejection medications are drugs used after an organ transplant to prevent the immune system from attacking the new organ, perceiving it as a foreign invader. These medications suppress or modulate immune responses to help the body accept the transplant, reducing the risk of rejection. They are essential for transplant success but can increase susceptibility to infections and other side effects. The specific medications and dosages are customized based on the type of transplant and the patient's response to treatment. Regular monitoring and adherence are crucial to ensure the health of both the patient and the transplanted organ.
