Source: OPTN/SRTR Data as of May 4, 2009.

Percentages are calculated based on the total number of patients with any immunosuppression use between discharge and one year following transplantation.

Individual drug percentages will not necessarily add up to the drug category percentages, as patients may be prescribed more than one drug within the same category.
