Consumer:

The use of cyclosporine is contraindicated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis with uncontrolled hypertension. Hypertension, possibly due to renal vasoconstriction, has occurred in 50% of patients receiving cyclosporine. Antihypertensive therapy may be necessary for kidney, liver, and heart transplant recipients treated with cyclosporine. Hypertension may decline with continued used, but has persisted in some patients.
