Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant used to prevent organ rejection after transplantation and to treat autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or severe psoriasis. It works by inhibiting T-lymphocyte activity, reducing the immune response.
The medication is administered orally or intravenously, as directed by a doctor. It is important for patients to undergo regular check-ups to monitor kidney function and blood cyclosporine levels.
Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as high blood pressure, kidney dysfunction, or infections. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.
Common side effects include high blood pressure, kidney dysfunction, tremors, and hypertrichosis. In rare cases, severe reactions such as liver toxicity or serious infections may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before starting treatment.
