Cyclophil Me 50 Mg (Cyclosporine)

1. What is Cyclophil Me 50 mg (Cyclosporine) used for?

Cyclophil Me 50 mg contains Cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant medicine. It is commonly prescribed to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients (kidney, liver, heart) and to manage autoimmune conditions such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and nephrotic syndrome.

2. How does Cyclophil Me 50 mg work?

Cyclosporine works by weakening the immune response. This helps prevent the body from attacking a transplanted organ and reduces inflammation in autoimmune diseases.

3. How should I take Cyclophil Me 50 mg?

1. Take the capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
2. Swallow whole with water; do not chew or crush.
3. Take it at the same time every day for consistent blood levels.
4. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it may alter cyclosporine absorption.

4. What are the common side effects of Cyclophil Me 50 mg?

• High blood pressure

Your doctor may recommend regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and cyclosporine levels to reduce side effects.

5. Can Cyclophil Me 50 mg be taken during pregnancy?

Cyclophil Me may be prescribed during pregnancy only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Breastfeeding is generally not recommended while taking cyclosporine due to possible transfer into breast milk.

6. What precautions should I take while using Cyclophil Me 50 mg?
