Thank you for your replies. I think the report on slow tapering of cyclosporine was based on this study done with pediatric patients in Europe by A. Bacigalupo, who is also a leader in Aplastic Anemia.

I am also curious why Dr. Young recommended a fast taper. Maybe because your daughter is a transplant candidate???
