Immunosuppressive Therapy
Immunosuppressive therapy is a medical treatment used to help the body accept a transplanted organ, treat certain cancers and autoimmune diseases, and reduce the action of the body’s immune system after an infection. Immunosuppressive therapy is used to decrease the activity of the immune system so it does not fight back against the transplanted organ or attack its own cells in autoimmune diseases. This therapy has helped to improve the outcomes for patients receiving organ transplants and those with certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, this therapy has also shown to be effective in reducing the risk of organ rejection, resulting in a better quality of life for patients.
