Experiences with

Cyclosporin

My doctor has just suggested that instead of using tacrolimus this time I could switch to cyclosporin instead.

Consultant has reduced the Mycophenolate (in place of Cyclosporin which didn't agree with me) from 750 to 500mg twice daily and stopped the Ondansetron, Colecalciferol and Furosimide so in my eyes that is progress.

Has anyone taken ciclosporin 200mg daily with leflunomide 10mg daily. If so, how are you feeling?

I have primary sjogrens syndrome which is affecting my eyes terribly. I am now having to have my tear ducts permanently closed and I have been prescribed cyclosporine eye drops with steroid drops. The dr said the drops hurt for a few minutes with each use but the steroids will taper the discomfort.

I am also considering switching to cyclosporin because of hair loss. How do the two compare? Side effects, testing, and other issues? I know both are poisons, but needed to protect my kidneys. I also know that side effects vary, I'm just trying to get an idea of what I may be trading for. Thanks

I just wanted to give you an update following my SCT. I am now on day +202, it is a slow recovery, which I knew it would be, but I am definitely having more good days when I don’t feel so tired & manage to go for a walk most days for about a mile. My hospital visits are now every 2 weeks, my ciclosporin
