Neoral (Cyclosporine) is a prescription medication that is used to prevent organ rejection in people who have received a liver, kidney or heart transplant. This medication is used along with other medications to allow your new organ to function normally. Cyclosporine is also used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and plaque psoriasis. Cyclosporine belongs to a class of drugs known as immunosuppressants. This medication works by weakening the immune system to help your body accept the new organ as its own and it also prevents further damage to your joints if you have rheumatoid arthritis or skin psoriasis.
