Comparison of whole blood concentrations of oral human generic modified ciclosporin capsules with microemulsified ciclosporin capsules approved for canine atopic dermatitis following a single oral administration to healthy dogs.

Generic modified ciclosporin achieved higher blood concentrations at 1 h post-administration than Atopica after a single oral administration in healthy dogs; no difference was noted at 1.5 h. Further clinical studies using generic modified ciclosporin in client-owned dogs affected with cAD are advocated to confirm its therapeutic efficacy.
