Neoral contains Ciclosporin (also spelled Cyclosporine) in a specialized "microemulsion" formulation. Unlike standard ciclosporin, Neoral is designed to be absorbed more consistently and predictably by the body, regardless of food intake. It works by specifically inhibiting T-lymphocytes, the white blood cells responsible for identifying and attacking foreign tissues. By moderating this immune response, Neoral prevents the body from rejecting a transplanted organ and reduces the overactive immune attacks seen in severe chronic skin and joint conditions.
In Nigeria, Neoral 25mg is a cornerstone treatment for post-transplant patients and those with refractory autoimmune diseases. It is available through registered specialist pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability capsules manufactured under strict international standards (Novartis) and stored in a climate-controlled environment to maintain the delicate microemulsion integrity.
Important: This is a high-alert, prescription-only medication that must be managed by a specialist (transplant surgeon, nephrologist, or dermatologist). Neoral requires regular blood tests to monitor drug levels, kidney function, and blood pressure. Brand Consistency: You should not switch between Neoral and other brands of ciclosporin without close medical supervision, as they are not absorbed the same way. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they can dangerously increase the levels of Neoral in your blood.
Neoral 25mg Capsules are primarily used to:
Prevent organ rejection in patients receiving kidney, liver, or heart transplants
Treat severe Psoriasis that has not responded to other conventional therapies
Manage severe Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema) in adults requiring systemic treatment
Induce and maintain remission in Nephrotic Syndrome caused by glomerular diseases
Treat severe, active Rheumatoid Arthritis when standard drugs are ineffective
Provide a more stable and predictable blood concentration compared to older ciclosporin oily solutions
This product is suitable for:
Transplant recipients requiring long-term maintenance of their new organ
Adults and children (based on body weight) with specific autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
Patients requiring a highly bioavailable form of ciclosporin for precise dosing
Not recommended for: Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ciclosporin or polyoxyl hydrogenated castor oil. It is strictly contraindicated for patients with impaired kidney function (except for Nephrotic Syndrome), uncontrolled high blood pressure, or active serious infections. Use with extreme caution in patients with a history of malignancy (cancer).
Take exactly as prescribed; the dose is strictly individualized based on your body weight and blood levels
Do not switch brands of ciclosporin unless your doctor specifically tells you to
The total daily dose is usually divided into two doses (morning and evening)
Take your doses at the same time every day to keep the medicine level steady
Swallow the capsules whole with a glass of water; do not chew or break them
Neoral can be taken with or without food, but you must be consistent (always with food or always without)
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one—never double the dose
Neoral is a powerful medication, and some individuals may experience:
Trembling or shaking of the hands (tremor)
Increased hair growth on the body or face (hirsutism)
Swollen or overgrown gums (gingival hyperplasia)
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Feeling sick, vomiting, or abdominal discomfort
Rare but serious: Kidney impairment (nephrotoxicity) or increased risk of infections
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a severe headache, sudden changes in vision, yellowing of the skin/eyes, or signs of a serious infection like high fever and persistent sore throat.

Why do I need to have my blood drawn so often?
Neoral has a "narrow therapeutic window," meaning the difference between a dose that works and a dose that is toxic is very small. Regular blood tests ensure your dose is high enough to protect your organ but low enough to protect your kidneys.
How do I take care of my gums while on Neoral?
Neoral can cause your gums to swell. It is very important to brush twice daily, floss, and see a dentist regularly to prevent "gingival overgrowth."
Can I take herbal supplements like St. John’s Wort?
No. St. John’s Wort can significantly lower the levels of Neoral in your blood, which could lead to organ rejection. Always check with our pharmacist before starting any new herbal remedy or supplement.
Where can I purchase Neoral 25mg in Nigeria?
You can fill your specialist prescription for Neoral at Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores for guaranteed product integrity and professional pharmaceutical support.
