Drug Details
Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant medication primarily prescribed to prevent organ rejection following a liver, kidney, or heart transplant. It is often used in combination with other medications to ensure the transplanted organ functions correctly. Additionally, Cyclosporine is effective in treating severe rheumatoid arthritis and plaque psoriasis in adults by reducing the immune system's attack on healthy tissues. It works by inhibiting a protein called calcineurin, thereby suppressing immune system activity. This helps the body accept the transplanted organ and reduces damage to joints or skin in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Cyclosporine is available in both capsule and liquid forms and is usually taken orally twice a day, with the dosage tailored to each individual's condition. While effective, it carries risks such as increased susceptibility to infections, high blood pressure, excessive hair growth, and potential kidney issues. It is available as both brand-name and generic versions and should be used under medical supervision to manage these risks effectively.
