- It is an orally available prescription drug. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of Sandummun Neoral 25mg Capsule based on the disease condition and other factors such as body weight and age.

- How it works:
- By suppressing the immune system, Sandummun Neoral 25mg Capsule helps prevent organ rejection in transplant recipients. After organ transplantation, the immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and launches an immune response to attack and reject it. Sandummun Neoral 25mg Capsule inhibits the activation of T-cells, a type of white blood cell involved in immune responses. This suppression of T-cell activity helps to prevent the immune system from attacking and damaging the transplanted organ, thereby increasing the chances of successful organ transplantation.
