Cyclosporine
I was diagnosed with Hypocellular mds 3 years ago. I am a female, 76 y.ears old. At time my platelates were as low as 12. I had 2 blood transfusions and 2 platelet transfusions. Was put on 400 mgs. of Cyclosporine. Within 2 weeks my blood count went up. After 3 months Dr lowered Cyclosporine to 300 mgs Blood counts continued to go up. I am now on 100 mgs. of Cyclosporine, and counts have been in normal range for 2 years. I am slightly anemic, but all other counts in normal range. I am tempted to go off Cyclosporine, but both Dr. and I are afraid counts might fall again. So, being Cyclosdporine has worked so well, will not take a chance on going off.
