What are your experiences with Cyclosporine?

Posted by meredithes @meredithes, 2 days ago

I’ve been taking cyclosporine since about 4 months now. My husband made me aware that he’s noticed some short term memory issues since I’ve been on it. Has anyone else experienced this or is it another thing that’s just me?

I’ve been using cyclosporine for close to 15 years and memory was never impacted…. I’d ask your doctor… take care!

I’ve been on Cequa (eye drops for three months. My memory hasn’t worsened but short term has been very bad since my RA diagnosis.

I’ve also been on cyclosporine for 10 years now and my memory has not been impacted. Do you take Statins? They are known for impacting memory loss. Cyclosporine PLUS other drugs could also be causing a drug-drug reaction, which could be impacting your memory. Check with your pharmacist to see if any meds you’re currently taking along with cyclosporine are negative impacted. Cyclosporine along with amlodipine is NOT good. That was my one experience. Paxlovid cannot be used with Cyclosporine. Check if there are other symptoms you are experiencing, every time you add a new drug. Always check with you pharmacist when in doubt when adding any new meds.
