The nurse must include the information

  • If you have or have had alcohol-related problems
  • If you have epilepsy or any liver problems
  • if you are pregnant
  • if you are breastfeeding
  • If you are giving the drug to a child

What are the side effects of cyclosporine?

The evidenced reactions were:

  • arterial hypertension 40%
  • renal alteration 20%
  • nausea/vomiting 16%
  • headache 12%
  • recurrent herpes 12%
  • and others 4%.

Adverse events normalized after discontinuation of cyclosporine.

With this information, we can conclude that Cyclosporine is considered a disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) because it not only helps treat the symptoms of arthritis but also decreases the progression of the condition thereby reducing the risk of long-term joint destruction and disability.
