Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Cyclosporin A 0.5% Oral Rinse is a specially formulated liquid designed for oral use. It is primarily used for therapeutic purposes, including the treatment of various oral conditions. The rinse is typically used by swishing it around the mouth and then spitting it out, as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to note that this rinse should not be swallowed.

The active ingredient in this formulation, Cyclosporin A, is a potent immunosuppressant. It works by suppressing the body's immune response, thereby reducing inflammation and the symptoms associated with various oral conditions. It can also be used to manage symptoms of oral graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a common complication of bone marrow transplants.

For patients using this formulation, it is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes. It is also important to inform your healthcare provider of any other medications you are currently taking, as Cyclosporin A can interact with certain other drugs. Side effects may include a burning sensation in the mouth, changes in taste, or an increase in saliva production. However, these are usually mild and temporary. If side effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

For prescribers, it is important to consider the patient's overall health status, other medications, and potential drug interactions when prescribing this formulation. Regular monitoring of the patient's response to treatment is also recommended to ensure the effectiveness of the therapy and to adjust the dosage if necessary.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Cyclosporin A is an immunosuppressive agent that has been used in the treatment of various autoimmune disorders and in organ transplantation to prevent rejection. It works by inhibiting the activation of T-cells, which are a type of white blood cell that can cause inflammation and damage to tissues. In the form of an oral rinse, Cyclosporin A can be used to treat oral conditions such as oral lichen planus, oral submucous fibrosis, and other inflammatory oral conditions.

However, it's important to note that Cyclosporin A can interact with a number of other medications. For instance, it can increase the levels of certain drugs in your body, such as statins, calcium channel blockers, and certain antifungal medications. This can increase your risk of side effects from these drugs. On the other hand, certain medications can decrease the levels of Cyclosporin A in your body. These include certain anticonvulsants, antibiotics, and St. John's wort.

Furthermore, Cyclosporin A can increase your risk of infection, as it suppresses your immune system. Therefore, it's important to avoid contact with people who have infections and to tell your doctor if you develop signs of an infection, such as fever, chills, or sore throat. Additionally, Cyclosporin A can increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer, particularly skin cancer. Therefore, it's important to protect your skin from the sun while using this medication.

It's also important to note that Cyclosporin A can cause kidney damage. Therefore, your doctor will likely monitor your kidney function closely while you are using this medication. If you have pre-existing kidney disease, your doctor may need to adjust your dose or monitor you more closely.

Lastly, Cyclosporin A can interact with grapefruit and grapefruit juice, which can increase the levels of the medication in your body and increase your risk of side effects. Therefore, it's generally recommended to avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while using this medication.

Given these potential interactions and side effects, it's important to discuss your medical history and all medications and supplements you are currently taking with your healthcare provider before starting treatment with Cyclosporin A. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to help.

The active ingredient in this formulation, Cyclosporin A, is a powerful immunosuppressant. It works by reducing the body's immune response, which can help to reduce inflammation and pain in the oral cavity. This can be particularly beneficial for patients suffering from conditions such as oral lichen planus, oral mucositis, or Sjogren's syndrome, where the body's immune response can cause painful inflammation in the mouth.

When used as an oral rinse, Cyclosporin A can directly target the affected areas in the mouth, providing relief from symptoms and helping to manage the condition. The rinse is designed to be used regularly, as part of a comprehensive oral care routine, to help maintain oral health and manage symptoms. It is important to use the rinse as directed by a healthcare professional, to ensure the best possible results.

While Cyclosporin A is a powerful medication, it is generally well-tolerated when used as an oral rinse. However, like all medications, it can cause side effects in some patients. These can include a burning or stinging sensation in the mouth, changes in taste, or dry mouth. If you experience any of these side effects, or if you have any other concerns about the medication, it is important to speak to your healthcare professional.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
