Weaning: Atopica (cyclosporine) and Prednisone

[Vally]

Hi Judith

Oh, you have no idea how paranoid I was/am. I honestly can’t remember as it was quite a while ago, but it would have been less than 50% I’m sure and certainly no change faster than a week at a time. I’m sure my vet said it was okay to just stop, but I did it slower than he said.

Having said that, cyclosporine is not the same as prednisone. Prednisone is the one that needs to be reduced very carefully.

If Dr Dodds has said once a week for 2 weeks and then stop, I’d go with her guidance.

All my best, Vally

There you go, I just re-read my earlier post. It was 50% at a time!!
