Understanding transplant medicine

Transplantation is amazing. Through transplantation, hundreds of thousands of people have been able to lead healthier lives. However, our bodies don’t easily accept transplanted organs, and medications are needed to help protect your transplant and ease treatment side effects.

Medications commonly used in transplantation include:

• Anti-rejection medications
• Anti-infective and anti-ulcer medications

You may have a lot of pills to take and different medications that you must remember to take at different times during the day, but there are a lot of ways to successfully manage your medication regimen.
