“…O sucesso do seu uso sistemático trouxe como conseqüência natural a extensão da indicação terapêutica para algumas das manifestações de doenças auto-imunes 3,4,5 . Entre os efeitos adversos desta medicação, alguns autores observaram o aumento do volume gengival 6,7,8 . A molécula mãe, que parece ser a forma ativa, sofre transformação metabólica no fígado, resultando em 14 produtos metabólicos, dos quais 90% são excretados pelas fezes e 10% são eliminados pelos rins 9,10 .…”

“…Chronic inflammation due to dental plaque frequently causes gingival overgrowth. [1][2][3][4] Drugs associated with gingival enlargement include antiepileptics such as phenytoin; 5-7 cyclosporin A; [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and calcium channel blockers, such as dihydropyridine, [17][18][19][20][21][22] verapamil, [23][24][25][26][27] and diltiazem. [27][28][29][30][31][32] The clinical and pathologic features in drug-induced gingival overgrowth are independent of the drug administered, which suggests a common pathway of induction.…”

“…However, CsA may have damaging side effects, such as nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, hypertension, and gingival overgrowth (GO). 1,4 GO is a distressing and disfiguring condition that can affect speech, mastication, oral hygiene, and aesthetics. 4 The prevalence of GO ranges from 25% to 81%, depending on the study population, index, doses, serum levels, treatment duration, and interactions with concurrently administered drugs.…”
