How it works
If you have had an organ transplant, bone marrow and stem cell transplantation, the function of cyclosporin is to control your body’s immune system. It prevents rejection of transplanted organs by blocking the development of certain cells which would normally attack the transplanted tissue.If you have an autoimmune disease, in which your body’s immune response attacks your body’s own cells, cyclosporin stops this immune reaction. Such diseases include eye problems which threaten your vision (endogenous uveitis, including Behçet's uveitis), severe cases of certain skin diseases (atopic dermatitis, or eczema and psoriasis), severe rheumatoid arthritis and a kidney disease called nephrotic syndrome.
