About Psorid 100mg Capsule (Cyclosporine 100mg)

Psorid 100mg Capsule, containing Cyclosporine 100mg, is an immunosuppressant medication used primarily to help your body accept a new organ after a liver, kidney, heart, or bone marrow transplant. By weakening the immune system, it prevents the body from recognizing and attacking the transplanted organ. This medicine is also prescribed to treat conditions such as nephrotic syndrome, severe rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis.

The dosage of Psorid 100mg Capsule (Cyclosporine 100mg) is carefully determined by your doctor based on your weight, medical condition, and the specific treatment required. It's crucial not to alter your dose without consulting your doctor. This medicine can be taken with or without food. For optimal benefits, it's recommended to take it consistently at the same time each day. Continue treatment for the prescribed duration, even if you start feeling better, as stopping prematurely may increase the risk of your transplanted organ being rejected.

Common side effects of Psorid 100mg Capsule include headache, unusual growth of facial or body hair, high blood pressure, diarrhea, gingival hyperplasia (gum enlargement), and tremors.
