Antirejection Medication

Antirejection medication helps prevent the body's immune system from attacking a transplanted organ or tissue, like a kidney or heart. When you receive a transplant, your immune system may see the new organ as foreign and try to reject it. These medications suppress or weaken the immune response, increasing the chances that the transplant remains healthy and functions properly. They are carefully prescribed by a doctor, often taken daily, and require regular monitoring to balance preventing rejection while reducing side effects. This treatment is essential for long-term success and survival of the transplant.
