After a transplant my father has been advised to take immunosuppressants. How long will he have to take these medications?

For the rest of your life but dosage and type of medications could actually change over time. Initially, you will require more medications and then your hepatologist or nephrologist might decide to discontinue or lower some of the most common antirejection drugs.

For as long as the transplant is functioning.
