Immunosuppressed

[ethandron]

How long after a person stops taking immunosuppressant drugs would that person be no longer considered immunosuppressed?

[NoMercy]

Not that long. Is the person on a weekly DMARD??

[ethandron]

No, on an eight week cycle of an intravenous immunosuppressant drug the last one of which was given a couple of months ago.

when the white cells have risen

[ethandron]

How long would that be likely to take bednobs?

[bednobs]

it depends wht drug, how much nsd how the immune system reacted to it. I would say 4 weeks

[ethandron]

Thank you.

[bednobs]

what treatment are you having? i used to have 8 weekly infusions of infliximab, and bloods were usually ok by the time of the next treatment. My MIL hd cyclopfosphamide every 4 weeks, and there were times her bloods werent good enough by the time of the next infusion

Snap bednobs, but I think for a different condition.
