Recent FactMed Activity for CYCLOSPORINE

Issue	Description / Topic	Timestamp
QUESTION VISUAL DISTURBANCE	I've been on cyclosporine 50mg for 4 weeks, then my dose was increased to 75mg per day. It has been prescribed for SLE/lupus. It has been extremely useful for lupus but I experienced blurry vision in my left eye and also my left eye's lid is difficult to open in the night. With my rheumatologist's agreement I've stopped the drug for a week to see if these side effects disappear. Do you have any experience of these side effects and if so, did they resolve with a decrease or ceasing the drug?	2014-11-22 16:21:56
