Specifications
Target Information
Cyclosporin A is a potent immunosuppressive agent primarily used in veterinary medicine to treat autoimmune diseases and atopic dermatitis, particularly in companion animals (dogs and cats). While not as commonly used in large-scale livestock production as traditional antibiotics, its relevance to food safety arises from its potential "off-label" use in food-producing animals to manage inflammatory conditions. It is a cyclic polypeptide that can leave residues in animal tissues. Due to its powerful effect on the human immune system and potential nephrotoxicity, any presence in the food supply (meat, milk, or eggs) poses a significant risk to consumer health, requiring strict monitoring to ensure it does not enter the human food chain.
