Cyclosporin dosage
We have recently gone from giving our daughter, Annalyse (age 6), her Cyclo 2x a day to only one. We have been tapering her since May with a steady small increase in counts.
Her current dosage was .45 2x day and we went to .9 once a day. So the same dosage, just all at once. Our Doc, Dr. Maciejewski , is highly respected and I trust his information. He said new studies are showing this to be a more effective distribution. Has anyone heard of this???
As a side note, at her first CBC her platelets dropped a little, from 77 to 61, her HGB went up from 12.1 to 12.5 and her ANC increased from 780 to 2300! It put all her WBC numbers in line %-wise.
