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 are some risks of having a transplant?
If the donors tissue doesn't match yours, your bodies immune system sees the new organ as a threat and destroys it. After an organ transplant, you will need to take anti rejection medicines, or immunosuppressants, for as long as you have the donor organ. Because your immune system will try to destroy the new organ, anti rejection medicines are needed to decrease your immune system's response so the new organ stays healthy.
