Introduction

Sandimmun Neoral 50mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is used to prevent the body from rejecting a new organ after a liver, kidney, heart transplant, or bone marrow transplantation. It weakens the immune system so that your body does not attack the new organ. It is also used to treat nephrotic syndrome, severe rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Sandimmun Neoral 50mg Soft Gelatin Capsule may be taken with or without food but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

Sandimmun Neoral 50mg Soft Gelatin Capsule 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.

Sandimmun Neoral 50mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. It is also used to treat arthritis and immune disorders of the eyes, lungs, muscles, skin, nerves, and blood vessels. 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. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day to help with your kidney function. Do not stop taking Sandimmun Neoral 50mg Soft Gelatin Capsule without talking to your doctor first.
