Everything You Know About Cyclosporine

Men, you know all about your immune system! It's your body's best defense against perceived threats. The big ones are obvious, so obvious: viruses and bacteria! Sadly, many, many things can mean your immune system gets unregulated. You've got to get something like this treated, since you can face huge, huge health problems otherwise. Two big, big examples are organ damage and chronic inflammation. That said, men, there's some good news! Cyclosporine's a good immunosuppressant and can help with an unregulated immune system.

Obviously, cyclosporine pills are very, very common after an organ transplant. They're also an option before transplants too! Men, you can get prescription eye drops of this med to treat some eye conditions. It's a big, big option for an arthritis treatment or treatment for psoriasis. There is a cyclosporine oral solution too! Men, you know you have to know how cyclosporine tablets work first, though.

How It Works

Men, cyclosporine's a med that suppresses your immune system! How? By lowering calcineurin! This enzyme is a huge, huge part of your immune system. So huge! It's because it plays a major role in creating T-cells. Yes, men, these are a type of white blood cell! T-cells are fighters. They damage cells in your body that are foreign. Why? Because they see the foreign cells as threats! Sadly, T-cells can see cells from a transplanted organ as a threat. That's why they can attack them! Men, these cells also play a role in inflammation. It happens because they activate other white blood cells that trigger inflammation.

You'll see autoimmune disorders and other problems with chronic inflammation thanks to an overactive immune system, men. It also happens if your immune system isn't working in another way too! That said, this med lowers calcineurin. You remember, of course, that this enzyme regulates your T-cells! Men, this is what can prevent many, many of these health issues.
