Introduction
Rencept 360mg Tablet is an immunosuppressant used to prevent rejection of an organ (such as a kidney, heart, or liver) after a transplant.

Take the medicine regularly to get the most benefit and keep taking it even if you feel well. If you stop taking it, you may increase the chances of rejecting your transplanted organ.
