Hi Hopeful,
I spoke to my sister again and it was confirmed that YES, only 25mg/day for 3 months then increase to 50mg/day for another 3 months.
About your statement on the therapeutic dosage for cyclosporine is 5mg per kg of her body weight per day. So, someone weighing 50 kg (for example) would take 50*5 or 250 mg of cyclosporine per day. This dosage is typically divided between morning and evening to maintain a more stable level in the blood.
Just wondering is this a international standard dosage for MDS ?
cheers
teo
