Expert advice for Neoral Capsule
NEORAL 50MG CAPSULE, like all immunosuppressants, increases the risk of infection and certain cancers. Avoid being close to people with cold, flu or other contagious illness. Do not receive a "live vaccine" while you are using NEORAL 50MG CAPSULE. The live vaccine may not work well and may not fully protect you. It may cause unwanted side effects like kidney damage, tremor, hirsutism, hypertension, and gum hyperplasia. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you have ever been diagnosed with kidney or liver problems. Your doctor may ask to get NEORAL 50MG CAPSULE blood concentration level, to avoid side effect due to high concentrations. Your doctor may ask to get kidney function test done regularly to avoid kidney damage.

How Neoral Capsule works
NEORAL 50MG CAPSULE is an immunosuppressant. It works by suppressing your body’s immune response to help accept a newly transplanted organ (eg. liver, kidney, 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. |
