Oncyclo 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. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) that leads to joint pain and damage. Psoriasis is a long-lasting, inflammatory skin illness.
Oncyclo 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. Oncyclo 50mg Capsule helps stop your body from rejecting a new organ by suppressing your immune system.
You are advised to take Oncyclo 50mg Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience headaches, vomiting, nausea, high blood pressure, increased growth of hair, loss of appetite (feeling unwell and upset stomach), kidney disease, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Oncyclo 50mg Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed. To avoid recurring symptoms, do not stop it midway. Before taking Oncyclo 50mg Capsule inform your doctor if you have any allergies, kidney disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, and any type of cancer. Oncyclo 50mg Capsule should not be taken by breastfeeding mothers as it passes into breast milk. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medicines to rule out any unpleasant side effects.
