    immunosuppressive drug used to prevent organ rejection and treat autoimmune diseases

    Cyclosporine, also known as cyclosporin A or CsA, is an immunosuppressive drug primarily used to prevent organ transplant rejection and to treat certain autoimmune conditions. It works by inhibiting the activity of T-cells, a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. In dermatology, cyclosporine has been explored for its potential to treat severe cases of alopecia areata, a condition characterized by sudden hair loss.
