SANDIMMUN NEORAL Meaning and
Definition
-
Sandimmun Neoral is a brand name for a medication called cyclosporine. It is an immunosuppressive drug that is primarily used in the prevention of organ rejection in individuals who have undergone an organ transplant surgery. The generic name for the medication is cyclosporine modified.
Cyclosporine works by suppressing the immune system, more specifically by inhibiting the activity of certain immune cells known as T-lymphocytes. These immune cells play a crucial role in initiating an immune response against foreign substances or transplanted organs. By inhibiting their activity, cyclosporine helps to prevent the immune system from attacking and rejecting the transplanted organ.
Sandimmun Neoral is available in the form of oral capsules or an oral solution. It is usually taken orally once or twice a day, depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient's response to the medication. The dosage of the medication may need to be adjusted based on factors such as the patient's body weight, age, and the presence of any other medical conditions.
Like any medication, Sandimmun Neoral may cause certain side effects, including gastrointestinal disturbances, high blood pressure, kidney problems, increased risk of infections, and changes in blood sugar levels. It is important for patients taking this medication to be closely monitored by their healthcare provider and to report any unusual symptoms or side effects.
Sandimmun Neoral should only be used under the supervision and prescription of a healthcare professional, and patients should follow the prescribed dosage and instructions carefully.

Etymology of SANDIMMUN NEORAL
The word "Sandimmun Neoral" is a proprietary drug name and does not have a distinct etymology like ordinary words in languages. It is a combination of two components: "Sandimmun" and "Neoral".
- "Sandimmun" is derived from "Sandimmune", which is a brand name for cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive drug used in organ transplantation and autoimmune conditions. The origin of "Sandimmune" is not clear, as it seems to be an invented name specifically for this drug.
- "Neoral" is another brand name for cyclosporine, developed to provide a modified-release formulation of the drug. The origin of "Neoral" is also not apparent, as it likely stems from the pharmaceutical company's branding and marketing strategies.
