Cyclosporine Capsules and Imdur

Cyclosporine weakens your body's immune system, to help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted organ such as a kidney. Organ rejection happens when the immune system treats the new organ as an invader and attacks it.

Cyclosporine is used to prevent organ rejection after a kidney, heart, or liver transplant.

Cyclosporine is also used to treat severe psoriasis or severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Cyclosporine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Imdur (isosorbide mononitrate) is a nitrate that dilates (widens) blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through them and easier for the heart to pump.

Imdur is an extended release tablet used to prevent angina attacks (chest pain).

Imdur will not treat an angina attack that has already begun.
