Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients taking sirolimus or cyclosporine oral suspensions should mix the solution in a glass container and rinse the container with the same solution used to prepare it to ensure they receive the correct dose. They should also mix each drug with the recommended solution of milk or juice as instructed and not mix oral preparations together using only water. Additionally, grapefruit juice should be avoided as it can increase blood levels of some immunosuppressant drugs, including cyclosporine. There is no need to allow the prepared mixture to stand for one hour before taking the drug.
