Pip
Cyclosporine is an anti rejection medication for use post transplant.  It has been used to treat RA/PsA for many years.  It was kind of the original "big gun" used begore the biologics were on the market.  The brand name was Neoral.  It is also the base (in much milder form) for Restasis which is used for the severly dry eyes of Sjogrens.
 
Orencia is not an interlukin 6 med its a T cell suppresser.  Acterma is the interlukin 6 medication
