Psorid 50 Capsule is taken orally.

Psorid 50 Capsule contains cyclosporine (50 mg), which works on your body in several ways:

• Immune System Suppression: Cyclosporine acts by inhibiting T-lymphocytes, which are white blood cells integral to your body's immune response. This suppression of the immune system helps prevent organ rejection after a transplant.

• Inflammation Reduction: By suppressing the immune system, cyclosporine also reduces inflammation in your body. This action is particularly useful in managing autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

• Disease Management: The inhibitory effect on T-lymphocytes also helps in managing nephrotic syndrome and reducing symptoms of this kidney condition.

  Remember, while cyclosporine can be highly effective in managing these conditions, it might also make you more susceptible to infections due to its immunosuppressive nature.

• Keep your Psorid 50 Capsule in its original blister pack to protect it from light and air.

• Store it at a controlled room temperature below 30°C, away from moisture.

• Keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children.

• Always use the medicine before the expiry date mentioned on the pack.

• If you're taking Psorid 50 Capsule for rheumatoid arthritis, try to maintain a balanced diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (like fish or flaxseeds) which can help manage inflammation.

• For those using it for psoriasis, avoid consuming alcohol as it may trigger psoriasis flare-ups. Also, wear protective clothing when outdoors to limit sun exposure which may worsen psoriasis symptoms.
