Check the dosage form and strength:

Uses

Rheumatoid arthritis, Immunosuppressant therapy after organ (liver, kidney, and heart) transplant, and psoriasis (a skin disease that causes itchy and dry patches).

Medicinal Benefits

Cyclodac 50mg Capsule belongs to the class of medicine called 'immunosuppressant' that helps to reduce the pain/inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis conditions and is also used to treat severe psoriasis. Besides this, it also prevents organ rejection after a kidney, heart, or liver transplant. Cyclodac 50mg Capsule contains 'cyclosporine' that works by reducing the function of the cells, causing inflammation, especially in the joint tissues, thereby decreasing pain and inflammation and slowing down the joint damage and disease progression over time. Besides this, after an organ transplant, your body will try to attack the new organ as it sees it as foreign. Cyclodac 50mg Capsule helps stop your body from rejecting a new organ by suppressing your immune system.
