Post-Transplant Medication

After your transplant, medications will play an essential role in keeping your new organ working properly and maintaining your general good health.  You will need to take some medications for the rest of your life.  Other medications will be necessary only for a limited time.  From time to time, the amount of medication you take may change, or you may be switched from one medication to another.  The medications that you will be taking are designed to prevent a number of problems:

• Transplant medications (immunosuppressants) to prevent rejection of the kidney
• Medicines to prevent infection
• Medicines to deal with other common problems after kidney problems such as cholesterol and blood pressure tablets
