Buy Neoral

Neoral (cyclosporine) is used to prevent organ rejection after a kidney, heart, or liver transplant by suppressing the body's immune system. It can also be used to treat various autoimmune conditions, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. Some of the autoimmune diseases it is used for include:
• Atopic dermatitis: A type of eczema that causes itchy and inflamed skin;
• Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis): Conditions that cause inflammation in the digestive tract;
• Nephrotic syndrome: A kidney disorder that results in excessive protein in the urine and swelling;
• Psoriasis: A skin disorder characterized by red, itchy, and scaly patches on the skin;
• Rheumatoid arthritis: A chronic inflammatory condition that affects the joints and can cause pain and joint damage.

Neoral contains cyclosporine as its active ingredient, which belongs to the group of medications known as immunosuppressants. Neoral works by blocking the activity of a protein called calcineurin. Calcineurin is involved in the activation of T cells, which are white blood cells that play a role in the immune system. By blocking calcineurin, Neoral helps to suppress the immune system and prevent it from attacking the transplanted organs or body's own tissues and cells.
