How it works
Cyclophil ME Oral Solution is an immunosuppressant. It works by suppressing your body's immune response to help accept a newly transplanted organ (e.g. liver, kidney, or heart). In rheumatoid arthritis, this immunosuppressive effect reduces inflammation (swelling) of joints and limits joint damage. In psoriasis, it works by reducing the activity of certain immune cells that cause overproduction of skin cells, thus improving scaling and redness.
Quick Tips
It may take 3 to 4 months for the medication to work. Keep taking it as prescribed. Your doctor may get regular blood tests done to check the levels of blood cells in your blood. Inform your doctor if you experience unexplained bruising or bleeding, sore throat, mouth ulcers, fever or general illness. Your doctor may monitor your kidney function regularly. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day to help with your kidney function. Do not stop taking Cyclophil ME Oral Solution without talking to your doctor first.
