NEORAL (CYCLOSPORINE)

Cyclosporine modified (Neoral) is taken by mouth and used to prevent organ rejection after an organ transplant, such as a kidney, liver, or heart transplant.

It can also be used to treat severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. It’s typically used in combination with other medications, such as steroids or methotrexate, and has a serious risk of infection and cancer.

How cyclosporine modified (Neoral) works
Cyclosporine modified (Neoral) is an immunosuppressant, which means it lowers (or suppresses) the activity of your immune system. When you receive an organ transplant, your body recognizes the new organ as a foreign object, and your immune system fights to reject the new organ.

Cyclosporine modified (Neoral) also works to treat conditions caused by an overactive immune system, such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. These conditions are known as autoimmune diseases, where your immune system mistakes healthy tissue in your body as a foreign object and attacks it.

Cyclosporine modified (Neoral) works by weakening your immune system and preventing your body from rejecting the new organ or attacking healthy cells in your body.
