Description

Indications

Cyclosporine is utilized alongside other medications to forestall the rejection of transplants in individuals who have undergone kidney, liver, and heart transplant surgeries. Modified cyclosporine is employed either alone or in conjunction with methotrexate to address the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in patients who haven’t experienced relief from methotrexate alone. Cyclosporine variations belong to a category of medications known as immunosuppressants, functioning to diminish the immune system’s activity.

Uses and Dosage

Follow your doctor’s instructions and take this medication orally, usually twice a day. You can choose to take it with or without food, but stick to one method consistently for each dose.

The prescribed amount depends on your weight, medical condition, lab results, and how you respond to the treatment.

While on this medication, avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice unless your doctor or pharmacist confirms it’s safe. Grapefruit can heighten the risk of side effects when combined with this medicine.

For optimal results, use this medication consistently. To aid your memory, take it at the same times daily.

It might require up to 4 months to experience the full benefits of this drug for treating rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

If your condition doesn’t improve (within 4 to 8 weeks for arthritis or 2 to 4 weeks for psoriasis) or if it worsens, inform your doctor.
