Cyclosporine (Generic) Modified Capsules for Dogs work by suppressing the activity of the immune system. In immune-mediated disorders such as atopic dermatitis and perianal fistulas, the immune system becomes overactive and attacks healthy tissues, leading to inflammation and other symptoms. Cyclosporine inhibits the production of certain proteins called cytokines, which play a key role in the immune response. By suppressing cytokine production, cyclosporine helps to reduce inflammation and alleviate the symptoms of immune-mediated disorders. The modified capsules are designed to release the medication slowly, providing a steady level of medication in the dog's system to maintain its effectiveness over time.
