What's happening
Cyclosporine is currently affected by an active shortage report filed with Health Canada by SANDOZ CANADA INCORPORATED.
The reported cause is: disruption of the manufacture of the drug. Manufacturers must report shortages, but end-date estimates are their own projections and often move.
If your usual product is affected, a pharmacist is the fastest route to a solution: they can dispense an unaffected manufacturer's equivalent when one exists, and in most provinces can adapt doses or substitute a therapeutic alternative without a new appointment.
Cyclosporine is classified under “IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS” (ATC L04AD).

See the reports above; manufacturers must state a reason (most commonly manufacturing disruption or a surge in demand) when filing with Health Canada.
What can my pharmacist do about it?
