Q: Will the dose of immunosuppressants if taken at extremes for a very long duration affect us in any other way?
A:There are many immunosuppressants such as azathioprine, cyclosporin, tacrolimus, mycophenolate. Their actions are not identical and hence their adverse reactions are not similar. If you are interested in specific information on a specific molecule, we will be happy to respond.
