Ciclosporin

Ciclosporin is a medication that suppresses the immune system to prevent it from attacking the body's own tissues or transplanted organs. It works by blocking specific immune cells called T-cells, which are involved in immune responses. Ciclosporin is commonly used to prevent organ rejection after transplants and to treat certain autoimmune conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body. While effective, it requires regular monitoring because it can cause side effects like kidney issues, high blood pressure, and increased risk of infections.
