Cyclosporine A

Cyclosporine Induced Hypertension

Hypertension occurs in 60% of patients on cyclosporine. The etiology is thought to be due to vasoconstriction. There is a loss of circadian rhythm in blood pressure. Verapamil, cardizem and nicardipine increase cyclosporine concentrations.

Adrenocortical steroids

Azathioprine

OKT3

Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)
