It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

In a clinical study, 30% of patients required cyclosporine dose reductions averaging 20%; however, there is wide interindividual variability.

MANAGEMENT: If these medications must be used concomitantly, cyclosporine concentrations and serum creatinine should be monitored, and the patient should be observed for cyclosporine toxicity. Dosages should be adjusted as needed.
