What is Sandimmune?

Sandimmune is a brand-name prescription drug that suppresses the immune system to prevent organ rejection after a heart, kidney, or liver transplant. When tissue from one person is transplanted into another person, the body recognizes it as a foreign object. The immune system mounts a response against this foreign object to kill it. The active ingredient in Sandimmune, cyclosporine, however, “slows down” the immune system by interfering with one particular chemical in the body that activates white blood cells to attack the transplanted tissue.

Sandimmune is administered as a gelcap, oral solution, or injection. Sandimmune is first administered four to twelve hours before the transplant surgery. Sandimmune is tapered off following surgery, but a maintenance dose is administered for a few months.

What are the side effects of Sandimmune?

Sandimmune suppresses the immune system, the first line of defense against infections. So Sandimmune lowers the body's ability to prevent or fight infections, putting patients at a higher risk of infections, including severe and life-threatening infections. Immune suppression also increases the risk of certain types of cancer, such as skin cancer or lymphoma.

Other side effects include high blood pressure, tremor, headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, cramps, pimples, increased hair growth, dizziness, flushing, weight loss, mouth sores, problems speaking or walking, high potassium, kidney problems, and liver problems. Mental and mood changes include problems thinking. Allergic reactions are rare but can be severe and include lupus type syndromes.

This is not a complete list of possible side effects. Consult with your prescribing physician and pharmacist about possible side effects before starting on Sandimmune.
