Neoral
It is my understanding that the brand name NEORAL and other cyclosporines are not the bioequivalent. I was told when first starting to take cyclosporine to be carefully monitored when switching brands and source of manufacturer because they varied with the manufacturer. I was quite ill and my bone marrow did not respond on the first generic cyclosporine I took. It wasn't until I took the brand name drug (NEORAL) that my bone marrow started working. I am 206 lbs. and take 100 mg BID. Your doctor can adjust you dosage. Neoral comes in 25 mg capsules as well... at least that is what my insurance plan covers. I know that no matter what you take, you have to take cyclosporine twice a day as it is not time released.
