Patients who undergo solid organ transplantation require an immunosuppressive drug to prevent rejection by decreasing the body's own natural defense to foreign tissues, and Cyclosporin A is one of the most commonly used immunosuppressive drugs in the organ transplantations.

effective toward focus on reaching to population that are at risk with no discrimination in treatment.
