Cyclophil Me 50 mg is a prescription treatment for patients with rheumatoid and other rheumatoid conditions such as muscle inflammation, lupus, and pyoderma gangrenosum (an inflammatory skin condition usually painful, rapidly developing ulcers). It is introduced in patients with rheumatoid arthritis when other treatment strategies have failed to deliver results. The medication is also effective in preventing the rejection of transplanted organs. Cyclophil Me contains the active ingredient cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive medicine believed to reduce the activity of the immune system. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, this action helps cause a significant reduction in inflammation, thereby reducing the pain and swelling associated with the condition. The medication also reduces damage to the joint, which helps prevent long-term disability. As Cyclosporine reduces damage to the joints, rather than just treating the pain, it is categorized under the class of medications known as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
Precautions Cyclophil Me 50mg
- There are no well-controlled and adequate studies in pregnant women; therefore, Cyclophil Me 50mg should not be taken by pregnant women until the benefits are higher than the risk to the fetus.
- Cyclosporine is present in human milk. Due to the potential for serious side effects in nursing babies, a tough decision needs to be made whether to discontinue breastfeeding or discontinue the treatment.
- The safety and effectiveness of Cyclophil Me 50mg in children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis under 18 years of age have not been established.
- Generally, the dose selection should be cautiously done in the elderly; the doctor usually recommends the lowest starting dose, reflecting the greater frequency of reduced cardiac hepatic and kidney function and of other drug therapy.
- Cyclophil Me 50 mg can interact with other medications. Therefore, it is essential to inform the healthcare specialist about all medications a patient takes at the time of Cyclophilin Me prescription. These include prescription or nonprescription medicines (herbal preparations, vitamin supplements, etc.). Moreover, while taking a Cyclopsorine formulation, avoiding St. John's wort is advisable.
- Also, grapefruit and grapefruit juice should be avoided during the treatment as they affect the concentration of Cyclosporine in the body.
- Coadministration of most medicines is considered to be safe with Cyclophil Me. However, it is wise to consult a rheumatologist before having any vaccination done.
Side effects of Cyclophil Me 50mg
- Cyclosporin Cyclophil Me 50mg can cause an increase and darkening of the facial hair.
- Tender or enlarged gums and bleeding may occur, but good dental hygiene reduces this effect.
- During the initial days of the treatment, a patient may experience a feeling of pins and needles, or a burning sensation can occur in the hands and feet. Patients may experience a slight tremor in their hands.
- Cyclosporine can also affect kidneys and, in many cases, increase blood pressure. These side effects are more common in elderly patients. Therefore, keeping a close eye on such patient's kidney function and blood pressure is essential.
The daily dose of Cyclophil Me 50mg should always be taken in two divided doses. It is recommended to be taken on a consistent schedule, both in terms of time and in relation to meals. Grapefruit may affect the metabolism, increasing the concentration of Cyclophil Me; thus, it should not be consumed. Patients with kidney problems should avoid taking this medicine. Dose reduction may be required in patients with severe liver dysfunction to maintain blood concentrations within the suggested target range.
Cyclophil Me 50 mg comes out to be an effective option when other DMARDs have failed to deliver results or have unwanted effects. Improvement in joint swelling, stiffness, and pain may be experienced after four weeks of regular medication use, but it may be delayed by up to four months. If you discontinue treatment for more than a few weeks, there is an increased risk of worsening the condition. Continue using the medication unless instructed otherwise by your doctor or if adverse effects occur.
Generally, Cyclophil Me 50mg is taken orally. The recommended dosage can be adjusted to suit the patient's requirements. Doctors usually recommend the lowest dose of Cyclosporine, which gradually increases depending on the effectiveness of the treatment and whether the patient developed side effects. The recommended maintenance dose is 75 or 100 mg, taken twice daily. The capsule should be swallowed with water without chewing it.
Cyclophil Me may be prescribed with other medications to treat arthritis, which include:
- Other DMARDS such as methotrexate
- Anti-inflammatory medications, including naproxen or ibuprofen
- Steroids such as prednisolone or cortisone injections into the joint
- Medicines to relieve pain, such as paracetamol.
