Ciclosporin (25mg)

Overview Neoral 25mg Capsule

Ciclosporin 25mg capsules are prescribed to suppress the body's immune response following organ transplantation (liver, kidney, heart, or bone marrow). This immunosuppressant prevents the rejection of the transplanted organ by reducing the body's ability to attack it. It's also indicated for nephrotic syndrome, severe rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. Dosage of Ciclosporin 25mg capsules is individualized, determined by factors such as body weight, specific condition, and treatment goals; your physician will establish the appropriate regimen. Never alter the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor. Administration is possible with or without food; however, consistent daily dosing at the same time is crucial for optimal efficacy. Continue treatment as directed, even if feeling well, as premature cessation risks organ rejection. Common adverse effects include headache, hirsutism, hypertension, diarrhea, gum overgrowth, and tremors. Immunosuppression increases susceptibility to infections; report any infection immediately. An elevated risk of certain cancers, especially skin cancer, is also associated with this medication; minimize sun exposure. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions like hepatic or renal impairment, hypertension, gout, or epilepsy. Disclose all other medications currently being used, as interactions may occur. Use during pregnancy is conditional upon absolute necessity, and breastfeeding is contraindicated. Regular monitoring, including blood pressure, liver and kidney function tests, and electrolyte levels, will be conducted to guide dosage adjustments.

How Neoral 25mg Capsule works:

Sandimmune (ciclosporin) 25mg capsules are used to weaken the immune system. This action helps the body accept transplanted organs such as kidneys, livers, or hearts. The drug's immunosuppressive properties also alleviate joint inflammation and damage in rheumatoid arthritis. Similarly, in psoriasis, it controls overactive immune cells responsible for excessive skin cell growth, leading to clearer skin and reduced redness.
