Patients who consume alcohol should exercise caution when taking Sandimmun Neoral, as the medication contains approximately 12% vol. ethanol. This means that a 500 mg dose of Sandimmun Neoral is equivalent to almost 15 ml of beer or 5 ml of wine. This alcohol content can be harmful to patients with a history of alcoholism and should be carefully considered in pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with liver disease, epilepsy, or in pediatric patients.
It’s crucial for anyone who consumes alcohol to discuss the potential risks and considerations with their healthcare provider before starting treatment with Sandimmun Neoral to ensure the safe and effective use of the medication.
