Detailed explanation-1: -Medications that help prevent the immune system from damaging the new organ are called immunosuppressants. After your transplant surgery you will be prescribed medications that may include: Tacrolimus (Prograf) or cyclosporine (Neoral, Gengraf) Prednisone.
Detailed explanation-2: -After an organ transplant, you will need to take immunosuppressant (anti-rejection) drugs. These drugs help prevent your immune system from attacking ("rejecting") the donor organ. Typically, they must be taken for the lifetime of your transplanted organ.

These are known as anticoagulants and work to thin your blood and prevent clots. Some transplant patients will be prescribed anticoagulants to reduce the risk of blood clots.
