CNI immunosuppressants are used to treat organ transplant rejection, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, dry eyes, eye inflammation and eczema. They work by suppressing the immune system to prevent the body from attacking the organs, preventing swelling, and increasing tear production.
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) suppress the activity of your immune system. They're used to prevent organ rejection after a transplant and to treat various autoimmune conditions, such as lupus and eczema.CNIs come in oral pills, topical products, and eye drops. Examples include tacrolimus (Prograf, Protopic, Astagraf XL), cyclosporine (Neoral, Restasis, Sandimmune), and pimecrolimus (Elidel).
