AFRICANEWSWIRE.NET (May, 12 2012) Recently US Food and Drugs Administration approved Nulojix (Active ingredient: Azathioprine) for prevention of acute rejection in adult patients who have had a kidney transplant. Rapamune (Active ingredient: Sirolimus) is another immunosuppressive agent that joined the existing range of anti-rejection drugs used for preventing the kidney allograft rejection. More than 65,000 kidney transplants are done annually, allover the world. Most of the early transplant operations failed due to the rejection of transplanted organ by the immune system of the recipient. Success of organ transplant operations can be attributed mainly to the modern immunosuppressive medications.Nulojix has been approved by FDA for use with other immunosuppressants like basiliximab, mycophenolate mofetil, and corticosteroids. The patients receiving a kidney transplant are usually given a combination of anti-rejection drugs together with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral drugs. Kidney transplant surgery is followed by a carefully designed treatment plan called a protocol. A protocol can be Cyclosporine based or Rapamune based.
Commenting on anti rejection drug protocol adherence by transplant patients, a spokesperson for one of the top Canadian pharmacies has this to say “Most common cause of rejection of a transplant today, is failure to follow the treatment plan. The patients have to take the medicines strictly according to the prescribed plan including the dosage, time, and the meal times. Cost of these drugs is very high and most patients cannot afford to adhere to the protocol, unless they find a cheap source of medications”
Anti-rejection drugs used after a kidney transplant surgery include Cyclosporin A(CyA, Neoral, Gengraf, SangCya, Sandimmune), Rapumune(Sirolimus), Prednisone(Deltasone, Methylprednisolone, steroids), CellCept(Mycophenolate Mofetil), Imuran(Azathioprine), Nulojix:(belatacept), Prograf(Tacrolimus, FK506), Myfortic(mycophemolic acid). Patients are required to take high doses and a combination of a number of drugs to prevent acute rejection. The dose will be reduced and some of the drugs can be discontinued with the acceptance of the graft by the recipient’s body. Some of the anti-rejection drugs have to be continued to prevent the chronic rejection.
A spokesperson for the leading online Canada Pharmacy, Big Mountain Drugs (BMD) said “We have a wide range of anti-rejection and other drugs required for kidney transplant patients.
