Cyclospan-100 Capsule 10's

Cyclospan-100 Capsule 10's is an 'immunosuppressant' that helps to reduce the pain/inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis conditions and is also used to treat severe psoriasis. Besides this, it also prevents organ rejection after a kidney, heart, or liver transplant. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) that leads to joint pain and damage. Psoriasis is a long-lasting, inflammatory skin illness. 

Cyclospan-100 Capsule 10's contains 'cyclosporine' that works by reducing the function of the cells, causing inflammation, especially in the joint tissues, thereby decreasing pain and inflammation and slowing down the joint damage and disease progression over time. Besides this, after an organ transplant, your body will try to attack the new organ as it sees it as foreign. Cyclospan-100 Capsule 10's helps stop your body from rejecting a new organ by suppressing your immune system. 

You are advised to take Cyclospan-100 Capsule 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience headaches, vomiting, nausea, high blood pressure, increased growth of hair, loss of appetite (feeling unwell and upset stomach), kidney disease, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Cyclospan-100 Capsule 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed. To avoid recurring symptoms, do not stop it midway. Before taking Cyclospan-100 Capsule 10's inform your doctor if you have any allergies, kidney disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, and any type of cancer.

Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an autoimmune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) that leads to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, inflammation of joints, difficulty moving, and swelling.

Organ (kidney, heart, or liver) transplant rejection: When you get a new organ transplanted into your body, your body recognizes it as a foreign element and tries to attack and reject it because it is not originally part of your body. So, immunosuppressant drugs like cyclosporine are given to such patients to suppress their immune system to prevent an attack on a newly transplanted organ. The goal is to adjust immunosuppressants to prevent rejection and minimize any side effects of the drugs.

Psoriasis: It is a long-lasting, inflammatory skin illness. It is not infectious but has a tendency to run in families. It causes itchy and red patches on the skin.
