Immunosuppressant drugs are medications that reduce the activity of your immune system. This prevents your immune system from attacking healthy cells and causing health problems.

They are usually used to treat autoimmune diseases like lupus, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. They are also given to people who have had an organ transplant, to reduce the risk of rejection.
