This first article will provide a summary of the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity of CsA, its formulations, absorption and metabolism and its possible side effects. The second article will deal with the use of CsA in canine and feline dermatology, including recommendations on dosage protocols and withdrawal. In addition, possible treatment protocols for specific skin conditions will be discussed.
