Can you use alcohol while taking cyclosporine?

There is no reason not to consume alcohol with the immunosuppressant ciclosprin (also spelled cyclosporine & cyclosporin), in fact one brand name (neoral) of the drug contains a very small amount of absolute ethanol. Although it should be remembered that possible side effects of the drug can be impaired kidney and liver function which would be exacerbated by excessive consumption of alcohol.
