Active Ingredient & Action
Cyclosporine, the active ingredient in SANDIMMUNE I.V., is a calcineurin inhibitor that suppresses the immune system by inhibiting the production of interleukin-2, a key cytokine involved in the activation of T-cells. This leads to a reduction in the immune response and prevents the rejection of transplanted organs.
