Hi SAA Mom,
At 168 lbs, your son is slightly above the therapeutic range for cyclosporine. He is taking 7 mg/kg/day while the suggested max therapeutic dosage is 5 mg/kg/day.
If he went down to 400 mg/day of cyclosporine, he would be at the suggested dosage and possibly have less side effects. Something to discuss with his doctor...
