CYCLOSERINE, 250mg, caps. blister

Cyclosporine 100 mg prevents organ rejection in people who have received a liver, kidney, or heart transplant. It is usually taken along with other medications to allow your new organ to function normally. Cyclosporine is also used to treat severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis and plaque psoriasis. The body?s defense system (immune system) attacks healthy tissues in these conditions. Cyclosporine belongs to a class of drugs known as immunosuppressants. It works by weakening the immune system to help your body accept the new organ as if it were your own (in the case of an organ transplant) and to prevent further damage to your joints (in the case of rheumatoid arthritis) or skin (in the case of psoriasis). How to use cyclosporine-modified oral Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily. You may take this medication with or without food, but it is crucial to choose one way and take this medication the same way with every dose. The dosage is based on your weight, medical condition, lab tests, and response to treatment. Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while using this medication unless your doctor or pharmacist says you may do so safely. Grapefruit can increase the chance of side effects with this medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details. It may take up to 4 months before you get the full benefit of this drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better (in 4 to 8 weeks for arthritis and in 2 to 4 weeks for psoriasis) or if it gets worse.
