Question : Is there any danger if a human took a Atopica 25 mg pill that is used for dogs?

Answered by Dr. Anshul Varshney (21 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Atopica is Cyclosporine and is definitely a strong drug but it is also used in humans.
The dose of 25 mg is very small and a single pill is very unlikely to cause any adverse event.
Share my opinion with your doctor.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
