We call the Roberta Criado to help us answer an important question.
The current question is about a type of treatment for urticaria, the cyclosporine.
Cyclosporine is a medication considered to be part of the immunosuppressant class, which is a group of medications used for various diseases where there is a need to suppress immunological reactions. Cyclosporine can be used from transplants to autoimmune diseases and also in inflammatory diseases, such as atopic dermatitis and urticaria. In inflammatory diseases, the dose is much lower than in transplant patients, therefore, the side effects are also usually smaller.
It is important to monitor your doctor, as periodic kidney function tests and blood pressure control are necessary. However, under medical control, this type of treatment for urticaria that does not respond to antihistamines and also to omalizumab It is a relatively safe alternative.
(Today, cyclosporine is in the next stage of treatment after omalizumab).
