Immunosuppressant
A medication that dampens the immune system, used after transplant or in autoimmune disease.
Immunosuppressants (tacrolimus, cyclosporine, mycophenolate, sirolimus, prednisone, biologics) dampen immune response. They're essential after organ transplant to prevent rejection and used in autoimmune disease management.
What this means for you: post-transplant immunosuppression is for life, with regular drug-level monitoring. Your home transplant center coordinates with the operating program for hand-off — confirm this is in writing before flying home.
