How SANDIMMUN NEORAL ORAL SOLUTION Works
SANDIMMUN
NEORAL ORAL SOLUTION is an immunosuppressive agent. It works by
blocking the release of certain chemicals in the body (such as T-cells,
interleukins and cytokines) that triggers the immune response. This
action suppresses your body’s immune functions and enables your body to
accept the newly transplanted organ. It also stops the abnormal immune
response in the body and manages your body from attacking its own cells.
