Ciclosporin , also spelled cyclosporine and cyclosporin , is a calcineurin inhibitor , used as an immunosuppressant medication . It is taken orally or intravenously for rheumatoid arthritis , psoriasis , Crohn's disease , nephrotic syndrome , eczema , and in organ transplants to prevent rejection .[ 14] [ 15] It is also used as eye drops for keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eyes).[ 16]
Common side effects include high blood pressure, headache, kidney problems , increased hair growth, and vomiting.[ 15] Other severe side effects include an increased risk of infection, liver problems, and an increased risk of lymphoma .[ 15] Blood levels of the medication should be checked to decrease the risk of side effects.[ 15] Use during pregnancy may result in preterm birth ; however, ciclosporin does not appear to cause birth defects .[ 17]
Ciclosporin is believed to work by decreasing the function of lymphocytes .[ 15] It does this by forming a complex with cyclophilin to block the phosphatase activity of calcineurin , which in turn decreases the production of inflammatory cytokines by T-lymphocytes .[ 18]
Ciclosporin was isolated in 1971 from the fungus Tolypocladium inflatum and came into medical use in 1983.[ 19] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines .[ 20] [ 21] In 2022, it was the 185th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 2 million prescriptions.[ 22] [ 23] It is available as a generic medication .[ 24]
