About Pasilow 100 Softgel Capsule 5's

Pasilow 100 Softgel Capsule 5's belongs to the class of medicine called 'immunosuppressant' that helps to reduce the pain/inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis conditions and is also used to treat severe psoriasis.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an autoimmune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) that leads to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, inflammation of joints, difficulty moving, and swelling.

Organ (kidney, heart, or liver) transplant rejection: When you get a new organ transplanted into your body, your body recognizes it as a foreign element and tries to attack and reject it because it is not originally part of your body. So, immunosuppressant drugs like cyclosporine are given to such patients to suppress their immune system to prevent an attack on a newly transplanted organ. The goal is to adjust immunosuppressants to prevent rejection and minimize any side effects of the drugs.

Psoriasis: It is a long-lasting, inflammatory skin illness. It is not infectious but has a tendency to run in families. It causes itchy and red patches on the skin.
