Cyclosporine oral solution

How does your hospital dispense cyclosporine oral solution (Sandimmune or Neoral)? We have PVC-free oral syringes to draw up doses but do you drawn up doses ahead of time i.e the night before or do you dispense doses on demand? The manufacturer recommends only using the syringe provided which does not come with a cap and instructs patients to draw up the dose immediately before use. However this is catered to home use and is not practical for a hospital that needs to dispense to multiple patients from one bottle.
