To prevent rejection you need to take immunosupressivemedication. These medications lower/suppress your immune system so it won't attack the transplanted organ. cyclosporin, mycophenolate, tacrolimus are examples of immune suppressing medication.

What organ contains the drug to reduce the risk of rejection that are given to organ transplant?
It is not an organ which contains the immunosuppressive drugs used to prevent rejection - the drugs are manufactured in a laboratory, in the same manner that something as simple as Paracetamol would be manufactured. These drugs can then be given to the transplant recipient orally (including via a nasal-gastric tube) or via an IV drip.
Why is it necessary for doctors to give organ transplant patient a drug called cyclosporine?
After undergoing an organ transplant, it is necessary for patients to take drugs called immunosuppressants for the rest of their lives. Cyclosporine is a commonly used drug for this purpose. It is extremely important that people who have had a transplant take this drug every day as directed because if they don't, their body may reject the organ. The body's immune system recognizes the new organ as foreign and it attacks it. Drugs such as cyclosporine will suppress the immune system so that it cannot destroy the organ.
What is the best anti rejection drug to take?
THERE IS NO ONE specific medication to take for anti-rejection, as in an organ transplant..Your physician needs to weigh all the factors, then pick the medication he/she feels is appropriate. Before I was involved with caring for someone with cancer, I thought CHEMOTHERAPY was a specific drug given to cancer patients. What I learned was, chemotherapy is actually a combination of different anti-cancer drugs mixed together, depending on the type of cancer and different factors. There are at least 50 if not more combinations of drugs, mixed like a "cocktail", to give someone with cancer. For every type and severity of cancer, there is a different "cocktail". If you or someone you know is on an anti-rejection medication, don't be afraid to question the physician and also do some research.
Anti- inflammatory drug whose effect is useful in reversing early rejection of organ transplants is?
Prednisolone (corticosteroid)
What 1954 development improved organ transplant succes?
The development of the anti suppressent drug Cylosporine by Dr.Callum Hume was the reason for the improvement in organ transplants in 1954.
Which type of medication is administered to prevent the rejection of donor tissue?
The type of drug given to prevent or reduce the body's normal immune response is referred to as an immunosuppressant. This antirejection medication is issued when a new organ is placed inside a patientâ??s body, because otherwise the patient's immune system recognizes the organ as foreign tissue and tries to reject it.
What protocol did Dr. Thomas E. Starzl develop for organ transplant patients?
Shortly before the transplantation, patients were given a drug that killed their T-cells and after the operation, patients received only one anti-rejection medicine rather than the multi-pill cocktail normally prescribed.
What education does a patient receive as a condition to transplant surgery?
An organ transplant requires major lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments, complex drug treatments and frequent examinations. The patient must be committed to making these changes
Are you eligible for transplant after failing a drug test?
No, organs are hard to come by and therefore they go to the best matched candidates and those that aren't doing illegal drugs. An example would be an alcoholic patient trying to get a new liver. In order to be placed on the transplant list you need to be alcohol free for over year and you shouldn't be drinking afterwards. Transplant recipients often require life long medication to prevent rejection and medical professionals want to know that someone will comply with the demands before and after treatment.
What happens when one receives a lung transplant?
In a lung transplant, a diseased lung is removed and may be replaced by a deceased donor's lung. The name for this kind of transplant is a cadaveric transplant. There are also transplants called living donor transplants. So that the body does not reject the transplanted organ, an immunosuppressant drug must be taken by the patient usually for life.
A soil fungus is one of the sources of cyclosporine this drug is given to patients who are about to receive an organ transplant cyclosporine suppresses the body's natural response to reject the organ?
Yes. Cyclosporin is an immunosuppressant medication. It is produced naturally by soil fungi
What 1954 developement improved organ transplant success?
Dr. Callum Hume broke through the transplant techniques and introduced suppressants. The first ever organ was transplated in Boston, USA. It was a kidney transplant and the man survived another 8 years. 1954 was the development of cyclosporine. This help revolusionise the history of transplants. Answer A new drug was formed called cyclosporine.
