Comparative study on the bioavailability (rate and extent of absorption) between soft capsules of 100 mg of ciclosporine from two different pharmaceutical laboratories.

Open, randomized and crossed-over study on the bioequivalence between soft capsules of 100 mg of ciclosporine from Novartis Farma – Produtos Farmacêuticos, S.A. (Sandimmun Neoral®) and from Generis Farmacêutica, S.A. (“Ciclosporina Generis 100 mg Cápsulas moles”). - Bioequivalence study on soft capsules with 100 mg of ciclosporine
