Uses of Cyclophil Me 50 mg Capsule

What is it prescribed for?
Organ Transplant – Rejection Prophylaxis
Organ rejection after transplantation occurs when your immune system treats the new organ as an invader and attacks it. Cyclophil Me 50 mg Capsule is used to reduce the immune response of your body so that it does not attack the transplanted organ.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition in which your own immune system attacks the joints in your body causing pain and swelling. Cyclophil Me 50 mg Capsule is used in combination with other medications for suppressing your immune system thus reduces pain and swelling.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp. It is an autoimmune disease i.e. your immune system targets your own skin and affects it. Cyclophil Me 50 mg Capsule is used for the treatment of severe psoriasis by lowering the activity of your immune system.
