Thymoglobulin

Thymoglobulin is a medication made from antibodies derived from rabbits that helps prevent the body's immune system from rejecting a transplanted organ, like a kidney or liver. It works by reducing the activity of certain immune cells that might attack the new organ. This immunosuppressive effect is crucial during the early period after transplantation to increase the chances of the graft's success. While effective, Thymoglobulin can increase the risk of infections and other side effects, so it's used carefully under medical supervision to balance preventing organ rejection with managing potential risks.
