Change of meds

[jiml]

Hi all
Am following Fred's advice and starting a thread here.

Long story short. Dermotologist has taken me off acitretin as of yesterday and wants to put me on Ciclosporin. I am a bit wary as the side effects with this seem even worse and it looks like I am susceptible.

So any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

S

Hi Soosie
I think that's a good idea as you will get better noticed here
Myself having not used acetretin or cyclosporine I can't really offer any useful advice, apart from read up as much as you can about the various options, and go to your next appointment with questions about the drug they propose and if you don't want to take it tell them why ....I don't know your circumstances, but it might be you are considering children, or have liver or kidney weaknesses that are given in the list as reasons not to take the drug
I wish you good luck and hope you get some good advice from cyclosporine users here
