Tacrolimus (also known as FK506) is an immunosuppressive drug that is commonly used after liver transplantation to prevent rejection of the new liver. Chenodiol and ursodiol are bile acid medications used to dissolve gallstones and do not have a direct role in liver transplantation. Interferon alfa-2b, recombinant is an antiviral medication that may be used to treat hepatitis C but it is not commonly used in the context of liver transplantation.
