Immunosuppressives are given to transplant patients to prevent organ rejection and to patients with autoimmune diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis or Crohn's disease). They belong to a class of drugs that suppresses the body's immune system and used to prevent production of antibodies. I know that Immunosuppressives are essential in kidney transplants.
