Ciclosporin and Gums

Hi all,

Em is suffering really badly at the moment from some overgrowth of her gums from the Ciclosporin she takes......it has recently been reduced to 90mg BD from 100 mg BD.

Have spoken to our respiratory nurses, who have asked docs for advice.....both up here and at Bristol Childrens Hosp.....docs not got back to me yet....surprise surprise !!

I have got her some Corsodyl mouthwash and been giving her paracetamol but can anybody suggest anything else ? Has anyone else suffered with this ?

Am hoping it will settle soon. They are hoping to review her early, but don't know when that will be yet.

Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Cathy xx
