What are the common side effects of Cyclosporin drug?
References: Penn, I. and Brunson, M.E. Cancer after Cyclosporin therapy. Transplant. Proc. 20:85, 1988. All of the commonly used immunosuppressive drugs increase the risk of infection complications and cancer. Cyclosporin toxicity may result in renal failure, liver failure, high blood pressure, and neurotoxicity. Neurotoxic reaction are manifested by a fine tremor, paresthesias and, occasionally, seizures. Other unusual side effects include the development of Hirsutism (abnormal hairiness), observed in almost all patients who receive Cyclosporin. This effect regresses as the dosage of Cyclosporin is lowered.
