Cyclosporine (Optimmmune) is a very expensive medicine in general. I am afraid there is no cheaper alternative as far as I know. However I found prices on the Internet from 29.95 to over 50$ per tube. So you may want to search for cheaper sources on the net and get a prescription from your veterinarian.
