PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
WARNING
Only physicians experienced in immunosuppressive therapy and
management of
organ transplant patients should prescribe cyclosporine capsules,
(NON-
MODIFIED). Patients receiving the drug should be managed in facilities
equipped
and staffed with adequate laboratory and supportive medical resources.
The
physician responsible for maintenance therapy should have complete
information
requisite for the follow-up of the patient.
Cyclosporine capsules, (NON-MODIFIED) should be administered with
adrenal
corticosteroids but not with other immunosuppressive agents. Increased
susceptibility to infection and the possible development of lymphoma
may result
from immunosuppression.
Cyclosporine capsules, (NON-MODIFIED) have decreased bioavailability
in
comparison to Neoral
* (cyclosporine capsules, USP) MODIFIED.
Cyclosporine capsules, (NON-MODIFIED) and Neoral
* (cyclosporine capsules,
USP) MODIFIED are not bioequivalent and cannot be used interchangeably
without
physician supervision.
The absorption of cyclosporine during chronic administration of
cyclosporine
capsules, USP (NON-MODIFIED) was found to be erratic. It is
recommended that
patients taking cyclosporine capsules, (NON-MODIFIED) over a period of
time be
monitored at repeated intervals for cyclosporine blood concentrations
and
subsequent dose adjustments be made in order to avoid toxicity due to
high
concentrations and possible organ rejection due to low absorption of
cyclosporine.
This is of special importance in liver transplants. Numerous assays
are being
developed to measure blood concentrations of cyclosporine. Comparison
of
concentrations in published literature to patient concentrations using
current
assays must be done with detailed knowledge of the assay methods
employed.

ADMINISTRATION.)
