Ichmune C contains cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive medication specially formulated for use in dogs. It is most commonly prescribed to treat chronic skin conditions like atopic dermatitis. By calming an overactive immune response, Ichmune C helps relieve symptoms such as itching, redness, and skin infections that are commonly associated with allergic skin diseases.

Mechanism of Action:
Cyclosporine works by selectively inhibiting T-lymphocyte activity, which plays a major role in the body’s immune response. It blocks the production of inflammatory substances like interleukin-2 that trigger skin inflammation in allergic reactions. This targeted action helps control chronic itching and inflammation without causing broad immune suppression.

Uses:
Ichmune C is mainly used in dogs for:

• Treating atopic dermatitis, a common allergic skin disease

• Managing autoimmune skin disorders in some cases

• Preventing organ rejection in transplant situations (rare in veterinary use)

• Occasionally used for immune-mediated diseases under veterinary supervision

  Adverse Effects:
  While Ichmune C is generally well tolerated, some dogs may show side effects, especially during the early phase of treatment. These may include:

  • Vomiting or soft stools

  • Loss of appetite

  • Gum overgrowth or excessive hair growth

  • Lethargy

  • In rare cases, increased risk of infections due to immune suppression
