It works by lowering the activity of the immune system, which helps your body accept a new kidney, heart, or liver after transplant surgery. Because it affects your immune system, it must be used exactly as prescribed and under close medical supervision. It is not a regular pain reliever or antibiotic, but a long-term treatment that plays an important role in transplant care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Indications: When do you need this medication?\u003cbr\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003ePrevention of organ rejection after transplant\u003c\/strong\u003e: Used with other medicines to help prevent your body from attacking a transplanted kidney, heart, or liver.\u003cbr\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance of transplant health\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helps keep the transplanted organ working properly over time by reducing immune system activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Dosage and Administration: How to use the drug safely and effectively?\u003cbr\u003e* \u003cstrong\u003eUsual Dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e:  \u003cbr\u003e  The dose depends on the type of transplant, your age, and your other medicines.
