About Iminoral 25 mg Capsule 5's

Iminoral 25 mg Capsule 5'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. 

Iminoral 25 mg Capsule 5'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. Iminoral 25 mg Capsule 5's helps stop your body from rejecting a new organ by suppressing your immune system.
