Psorid 100 Capsule is taken orally.

Psorid 100 Capsule contains cyclosporine (100 mg), which works on the body through the following mechanisms:

• Inhibition of T-lymphocyte Activation: Cyclosporine forms a complex by binding with the cytosolic protein cyclophilin. This complex inhibits calcineurin, thereby preventing T-lymphocyte activation.

• Suppression of Immune Responses: By acting selectively on T-lymphocytes, cyclosporine stops the production and release of interleukin2 (a protein that signals immune cells to grow and multiply). This mechanism inhibits both cell-mediated and humoral immune responses.

• Prevention of Organ Rejection: The suppression of T-lymphocyte function interferes with the activity of effector T-cells, which play a crucial role in transplant rejection.
