immunosuppressive protocols

Immunosuppressive protocols involve medications that reduce the activity of the immune system to prevent it from attacking a transplanted organ or tissue. These drugs help ensure the new organ isn’t rejected, improving the chances of a successful transplant. The protocols typically include a combination of drugs tailored to the patient’s needs, such as initial stronger doses followed by maintenance doses over time. While essential for transplant success, they also lower the body’s ability to fight infections, so patients are carefully monitored to balance preventing rejection with maintaining immune function.
