Cyclosporine and antidepressants

[tamirra]

Does anyone know if the two above would be ok to take together as my daughter is suffering with depression due to her Behcet's. Thank you

Which anti-depressant?
St John Wort (a 'herbal' anti-depressant) causes a decrease in ciclosporin levels if taken together.

No i meant prescription antidepressants. x

Should be OK, but difficult to say for sure without knowing exactly which anti- depressant she is taking

The doctor will have taken into account that she will be taking both medicines.

I am on about 10 different tablets per day and I always go to the same pharmacy so that I won't have problems with taking two medications that disagree with each other - any problem is picked up by the pharmacist or her computer.

My daughter isn't taking the anti-depressants as yet as she is going to make an appointment, but i know not alot of medications mix with Cyclosporine thats what made me ask, but the Behcet's is getting her down very bad which is part of the disease. Thanks for posts. x
