Transplant protection: By suppressing the immune response, cyclosporin helps prevent your body from attacking and rejecting transplanted organs.
Inflammation control: In autoimmune conditions like psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, it limits your immune system from causing inflammation and damaging your body's own tissues.
