1. WHAT DEXIMUNE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT DEXIMUNE IS
The name of your medicine is Deximune. It contains the active
substance ciclosporin. This
belongs to a group of medicines known as immunosuppressive agents.
These medicines
are used to lower the body’s immune reactions.
WHAT DEXIMUNE IS USED FOR AND HOW DEXIMUNE WORKS
•
IF YOU HAVE HAD AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT, BONE MARROW AND STEM CELL
TRANSPLANTATION, the function of Deximune is to control your body’s
immune system.
Deximune prevents rejection of transplanted organs by blocking the
development of
certain cells which would normally attack the transplanted tissue.
•
IF YOU HAVE AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE, in which your body’s immune
response
attacks your body’s own cells, Deximune stops this immune reaction.
Such diseases
include eye problems which threaten your vision (endogenous uveitis,
including
Behçet's uveitis), severe cases of certain skin diseases (atopic
dermatitis, or eczema
and psoriasis), severe rheumatoid arthritis and a kidney disease
called nephrotic
syndrome.
