Exclamation What is cyclosporine dosis?

Hello!



In order to help my husband I need to know what is cyclosporine dosis.

I explain:

2 years ago he had ATG and 400mg cyclosporine (200mg/twice/day).
Then it was decreased until last January when it stopped.

My husband relapsed and this June he had ATG again and cyclosporine started with 300 mg (150 mg/twice/day).

Every week cyclosporine is measured in blood to determine adjustments - have you hear about it? I tried to find something about it and I can't find.

With these "measurements and adjustments" my husband cyclosporine dosis has been decreasing, from 300mg/day to 260, 200 and today to 160.

I'm afraid that this decreasing proccess will lead to other relapse.

So, what is cyclosporine usual dosis? I need solid bases to talk with my husband doctor.

Thanks for all information you can give me.
