I think that 1000mg of cyclosporine isn't an unusual dose right after ATG. But you can expect the dose to be tapered as your sister recovers. She may reach a dose like Hopeful describes and stay at that level for many months or even years. This was my wife's experience.

Determining the right cyclosporine dosage over time, particularly how much to taper and when, is both art and science for hematologists. Taper too soon and you risk your blood counts dropping, and having to set your dose way up again. Taper too late and you're at a higher than necessary risk for side effects.
