Hello, folks. My sister in law has been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for several years. She was prescribed restasis few days ago. However, I would like to know something more about the side effects of this drug before taking it. I would really appreciate all your replies considering this topic. Bye, guys!

Hi, there. Restasis is also known as cyclosporine. It can show usual side effects. Some of them are: headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. However, Restasis is an immunosuppressive drug. In another words, it inhibits your immune system. That is why one will suffer from minor infections. Otherwise, people don’t get this kind of infections. You shoud discuss the details with your sister in law’s doctor. I hope everything will be all right. Good luck!
