Prevention and treatment primarily involve immunosuppressive medications to dampen the body's immune response. Common drugs include:
Corticosteroids: Often used initially to control acute rejection episodes. Calcineurin Inhibitors: Such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, which are critical in long-term management. Antimetabolites: Like azathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil, which inhibit cell division and are used in combination with other drugs.
