When a person receives a transplant, they can sometimes be given a drug to prevent their body from rejecting foreign tissue such as a heart transplant. Does anybody here know the name of this drug?

Immunosuppressants. I may have spelled that wrong... Whatever, you get the idea.

Are you trying to steal EFs job?

Immunosuppressive therapy
A short course of high-dose corticosteroids can be applied, and repeated. Triple therapy adds a calcineurin inhibitor and an anti-proliferative agent. Where calcineurin inhibitors or steroids are contraindicated, mTOR inhibitors are used.
Immunosuppressive drugs:
Corticosteroids
Prednisolone
Hydrocortisone
Calcineurin inhibitors
Ciclosporin
Tacrolimus
Anti-proliferatives
Azathioprine
Mycophenolic acid
mTOR inhibitors
Sirolimus
Everolimus

The key here is none of them are called neuropozyne.

Yet.

aww, was hoping this was a question about homework relating to physics, chemistry, or biology. But, yes, immunosuppressants are used, so that your body doesn't completely kill off the transplanted organ asap and leave your in horrific health, again. For this reason, hospitals will try to match someone with organs as close as possibly to a similar enough genetic match, and in the case of blood, match criteria that's more than simple blood types and RH factors (barring utter emergencies). In plenty of cases, a total stranger could be a closer match than your own family.

Though, there is a problem with immunosuppressants, in that they do lower your ability to fight infections, for the obvious reason that your immune system is being purposely stunted, so that your body doesn't outright reject transplanted organs. Because of this, there is hope in the future that organ can be cloned, so that rejection will be very small/non-existent.

I learnt about immunosuppressants in my school in Biology.

This sounds like a job for Google Man!
