Spanish term

making sense of it

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) informed consent (US)
• Sólo se le administrará un medicamento a menos que su médico haya determinado que tiene o ha tenido un problema (por ejemplo, rechazo) que requiere que tome más de un inmunosupresor.

Draft:
• You will only be administered one drug unless your doctor has specified that you have or have had a problem (for example, rejection) that required you to take more than one immunosuppressant.

Is this what the author is meaning. To me, it doesn't seem quite right.

TIA

Adam. Agree with ljo. I was redacting for you when I say the comment and answer but nevertheless, here goes:
Your Draft:
• You will only be administered one drug unless your doctor has specified that you have or have had a problem (for example, rejection) that required you to take more than one immunosuppressant.

I WOULD SAY:
• You will only be administered one drug unless your doctor has ** determined ** that you have or have had a problem (for example, rejection) that **requires** you to take more than one immunosuppressant.

Seems clear: Rejection may require you to take more than one immunosuppressant; one may not treat all conditions/symptoms. Example, HIV, you have a “cocktail”, a combination of several drugs (immunosuppressants). Hope this helps!

I believe that is what the author is meaning.

is your problem with 'un medicamento'?

You will only be administered a single drug unless your doctor has determined that you have or have had a problem (for example, rejection) that requires you to take more than one immunosuppressant.
