About CYCLOSPORIN(100MG)
Introduction
Cyclosporin 100mg is an immunosuppressant medicine that helps control your body's immune system. It contains cyclosporine as the active ingredient, which is used to prevent organ rejection and treat certain immune-related conditions. This medicine is available in capsule form and requires careful medical supervision during treatment.
Uses
Cyclosporin is prescribed to prevent rejection of transplanted organs such as kidney, liver, or heart. It is also used to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis that has not responded to other treatments, severe psoriasis, and certain eye conditions like dry eye disease. Additionally, it may be used in nephrotic syndrome and other autoimmune disorders as determined by your doctor.
Benefits
The primary benefit is prevention of organ rejection after transplant surgery, helping your body accept the new organ. For autoimmune conditions, it reduces inflammation and controls overactive immune responses. In rheumatoid arthritis, it helps reduce joint pain and swelling. For psoriasis patients, it clears skin lesions and provides significant relief from symptoms when other treatments have failed.
Side effects
Common side effects include increased hair growth, tremors, high blood pressure, kidney problems, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and gum swelling. Some patients may experience increased susceptibility to infections. Most side effects are manageable and improve as your body adjusts. However, inform your doctor if you notice unusual bleeding, severe stomach pain, yellowing of skin, or signs of infection like fever.
How to use
Take Cyclosporin exactly as prescribed by your doctor at the same time each day for consistent levels in your body. Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not crush or chew. It can be taken with or without food, but maintain consistency. Avoid grapefruit juice as it can interfere with the medicine. Never adjust the dose yourself. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and attend all follow-up appointments for blood tests.
How it works
Cyclosporin works by suppressing your body's immune system in a targeted way. It blocks the action of certain immune cells called T-lymphocytes, which are responsible for attacking foreign substances. By reducing the activity of these cells, it prevents the immune system from rejecting transplanted organs or attacking your own body tissues in autoimmune conditions, while maintaining some immune function.
Safety advice
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine only if clearly necessary and under strict medical supervision. Avoid alcohol as it may increase the risk of liver problems. Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function is essential. This medicine may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery due to potential tremors or dizziness. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you take as cyclosporin has many drug interactions. Avoid live vaccines during treatment. Protect yourself from infections and maintain good hygiene.
