Sandimmun 50 mg Injection 1 ml is a prescription immunosuppressant medicine available as an injectable formulation. It is usually given in hospitals or specialised healthcare settings when a person cannot temporarily take cyclosporine by mouth, such as around the time of an organ transplant or after surgery. It helps prevent organ rejection in people who have received a kidney, liver, or heart transplant by reducing the activity of the immune system. It may also be used in selected patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis when other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as methotrexate, have not worked well enough or are not suitable, and in severe plaque psoriasis when other treatments are ineffective or unsuitable. This medicine should only be started and managed by specialists experienced in treating these conditions.
This medicine is given by injection or intravenous infusion according to the schedule determined by your healthcare team. Keeping a consistent treatment schedule is important because changes in cyclosporine levels may increase the risk of organ rejection or side effects. The injectable form is generally used only until you are able to switch safely to oral cyclosporine. Eat a balanced diet, practise good food hygiene, and avoid raw or undercooked foods that may increase your risk of infection while your immune system is suppressed.
While receiving Sandimmun 50 mg Injection 1 ml, you may experience mild side effects such as tremors (shaky hands), high blood pressure, nausea, or headache. These effects are often manageable, but you should consult your doctor if they persist or become troublesome. Seek medical attention immediately if you develop signs of kidney problems, severe infections, seizures, confusion, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Do not receive this medicine if you are allergic to cyclosporine or any ingredient in the formulation. Before starting treatment, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, a history of cancer, or any active infection. Long-term treatment with immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine may increase the risk of certain cancers, particularly skin cancer and lymphoma, so regular medical follow-up is essential.
Cyclosporine can interact with many medicines, including certain antibiotics, antifungal medicines, blood pressure medicines, cholesterol-lowering medicines, and herbal products. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, breastfeeding, or an older adult, discuss your treatment with your specialist before receiving this medicine. Do not switch between different cyclosporine formulations unless your specialist specifically instructs you to do so, as different formulations are not always directly interchangeable.
