Can immunosuppressants cause low body temperature?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No (not directly): If a person become seriously infected (septic) while on an immunospressant they can have a low body temperature. Drugs that directly cause low body temperature include meds for anxiety, depression, alcohol, beta blockers, opiods, and general anesthesia.

Immunosuppressive : Typically that is not a usual side effect. Using Acetaminophen or nsaids can cause a lower body temperature though even that is minimal.
