'''Cyclosporine''' is believed to help manage KCS by reducing immune-mediated destruction of the gland and by stimulating '''tear production''' by binding with '''prolactin receptors'''. Once treatment is started, tear production should be tested after a month. If there is a good response the dose may be tapered. | '''Cyclosporine''' is believed to help manage KCS by reducing immune-mediated destruction of the gland and by stimulating '''tear production''' by binding with '''prolactin receptors'''.
