Hi Hawaii Bill,

Can you clarify what you meant when you said Gengraf's value is unclear?

I am currently taking Gengraf but have low trough level readings for the amount that I am taking. I take 6 mg/kg/day (150 bid), but my trough readings are only about 120. My counts have been falling so my doctors want to get my trough up over 200 to see if that will help. To do this, they want me to increase to 200 bid (8 mg/kg/day). I'm guessing that still won't be enough!

I'd appreciate any insight that you have on the types of Cyclosporine and why Gengraf isn't recommended.

thanks!

Hopeful
