Capimune (cyclosporin) side effects

[Carlettejaque]

Has anyone been prescribed capimune (ciclosporin) for allergic rashes? Have you had weird and unpleasant side effects?

Not yet but I might be in the future. Are you getting side effects?

It seems to be causing muscle weakness. I'm also getting rhinitis and mild headache. Twitching of my eyelids, which is annoying. Little bit of queeziness in the mornings which settles after eating lunch. Im also on Gabapentin which makes me sound and feel drunk. I hate the Gsbapentin, it makes you feel.like you have dementia, but it's the only medication that works for my agonising skin pain.

Oh dear that sounds horrible, we do suffer for our skin don't we.

I was prescribed cyclosporine in the past for my eczema... caused some kind of fungal infection on my face, my skin became severely cracked, began oozing and produced a strange odour. It definitely has some nasty side effects
