Sandimmune Solution


Generic Name: Cyclosporine Oral Solution (SYE-kloe-spor-een)
Brand Name: Sandimmune

Sandimmune Solution should always be used along with adrenal corticosteroids (eg, hydrocortisone), but not with other medicines that suppress the immune system. The risk of developing an infection or a certain type of cancer (lymphoma) may be increased by suppressing the immune system.

Sandimmune Solution cannot be interchanged with other forms of cyclosporine (eg, Neoral) without your doctor"s approval.

If you are taking Sandimmune Solution for a long period of time, especially for a liver transplant, lab tests should be performed to monitor your progress or to check for side effects such as toxicity or decreased effectiveness.


Sandimmune Solution is used for:

Preventing the rejection of organ transplants (kidney, liver, and heart). It is used in combination with adrenal corticosteroids. It may also be used to treat chronic rejection in patients previously treated with other immunosuppressive agents. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Sandimmune Solution is an immunosuppressant. How Sandimmune Solution works is not fully understood, but it may block certain white blood cells (lymphocytes).

Do NOT use Sandimmune Solution if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Sandimmune Solution
  • you are taking bosentan, disulfiram, fluorouracil, an immunosuppressant (eg, azathioprine, tacrolimus), metronidazole, orlistat, or a potassium-sparing diuretic (eg, spironolactone)
  • you are having radiation therapy for psoriasis
  • you are going to be vaccinated with a live vaccine

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
