Hi SAA Mom,
One more AA patient confirming that cyclosporine lowers magnesium. If that NP thought otherwise, she was mistaken. I've been on cyclosporine for 18 months, and I need to take supplements to keep my Mg in the proper range. Every time I go for blood tests they check my magnesium for this reason. I used to actually need magnesium infusions, but am doing much better now. Also, when I googled 'cyclosporine lowers magnesium', one published article after another came up on this.
