Drug Details
Cyclosporine is a medication used to prevent organ rejection in individuals who have undergone liver, kidney, or heart transplants. It is typically prescribed alongside other medications, such as corticosteroids, to ensure the new organ functions properly. This drug belongs to the class of immunosuppressants, specifically calcineurin inhibitors, which work by reducing the activity of your immune system. By weakening the immune response, cyclosporine helps your body accept the transplanted organ as its own, thus minimizing the risk of rejection. Cyclosporine is generally taken orally once a day, and healthcare providers will monitor its levels in your blood to adjust the dosage and reduce potential side effects. This medication is available both as a brand-name drug and a more affordable generic version.
