Thalidomide (Thalomid) is the only immunosuppressant listed that is a cytotoxic and pregnancy category X drug. Basiliximab (Simulect) and Tacrolimus (Prograf) are both immunosuppressants but are not cytotoxic and are pregnancy category B and C respectively. Oprelvekin (Neumega) is not an immunosuppressant but rather a medication used to stimulate platelet growth.
