Immunosuppressants are medications that lower or decrease the body’s ability to reject a transplant body organ or parts. Another medical term for these medications is “anti-rejection” drugs.
There are two types of immunosuppressant:
- Induction medicines: powerful anti-rejection drugs used at the time of transplant.
- Maintenance medicines: antirejection drugs for the long term.
There are usually 4 classes of maintenance medications such as:
- Calcineurin inhibitors:Tacrolimus and cyclosporine
- Antiproliferative agents:Mycophenolatemofetil, mycophenolate sodium and azathioprine.
- mTOR inhibitor:Sirolimus
- Steroids: Prednisone
When you get a kidney transplant or other organs, your body knows that the new kidney or organ is foreign (that is, not originally or real organ or part of your body).
Your body will attack the new kidney or organs and try to damage, harm, or destroy it. The immunosuppressant medications suppress your body’s ability to do this. The goal is to adjust these medications to prevent or stop damage or rejection and to minimize any side effects of the medications.
