Dear Tej,
The first question is whether the creatinine has come down to normal after stopping cyclosporin. If it has come down to normal, then cyclosporine may be restarted by an experienced hematologistat a lower dose and the dose may be gradually titrated. If the creatinine rises again, then alternative drugs like Menabol may be tried but remember Menabol has less efficacy.
