Abstract

The microemulsion-based formulation of cyclosporin (Neoral; referred to as the microemulsion formulation in this review) is a microemulsion preconcentrate which has been developed to overcome problems associated with the poor and unpredictable absorption of the standard oral formulation of this drug. These include marked intra- and interpatient variability in the extent of absorption, a poor correlation between trough blood concentrations of cyclosporin and total systemic exposure, and the need for regular monitoring of blood cyclosporin concentrations. In healthy volunteers and renal or liver transplant recipients, administration of the microemulsion formulation resulted in cyclosporin absorption which was significantly faster, more extensive and more predictable than that seen with the standard oral formulation. Furthermore, measurement of whole-blood trough cyclosporin concentrations provided a better estimate of systemic drug exposure in renal transplant recipients who received the microemulsion formulation than in those who received the standard formulation. Systemic exposure of cyclosporin delivered by the new formulation appears to be relatively unaffected by food intake. Initial data suggest that drug absorption from th...Continue Reading
