Overview Neoral 100mg Capsule

Sandimmune 100mg capsules are prescribed to suppress the body's rejection of transplanted organs (liver, kidney, heart, or bone marrow). This immunosuppressant reduces immune system activity, preventing the body from attacking the new organ. It's also indicated for nephrotic syndrome, severe rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. Dosage of Sandimmune 100mg capsules is individualized, based on your weight, specific condition, and treatment goal. Your physician will determine the appropriate dosage; never alter it without consultation. It may be taken with or without food, but consistent daily timing maximizes efficacy. Continue treatment as directed, even if feeling well; premature discontinuation elevates transplant rejection risk. Common side effects include headache, hirsutism, hypertension, diarrhea, gingival overgrowth, and tremors. Immunosuppression increases infection susceptibility; report any infection immediately. A heightened cancer risk, especially skin cancer, also exists; minimize sun exposure. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any liver or kidney disease, hypertension, gout, or epilepsy. Disclose all other medications, as interactions may occur. Use during pregnancy is conditional on absolute necessity; breastfeeding is contraindicated. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, liver and kidney function, and mineral levels is essential, with potential dosage adjustments based on results.

How Neoral 100mg Capsule works:

Sandimmune 100mg capsules are an immunosuppressive medication. Their mechanism of action involves dampening the body's immune system to facilitate organ transplant acceptance (such as liver, kidney, or heart transplants). This immunosuppression also lessens joint inflammation and subsequent damage in rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, in psoriasis, it diminishes the activity of specific immune cells responsible for excessive skin cell growth, thereby alleviating scaling and erythema.
