Cyclophosphamide<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Cyclophosphamide (brand name: Cytoxan) is a medication that lowers the body\u2019s natural immunity. The immune system is thought to be involved in causing nephrotic syndrome. By lowering the immune system\u2019s activity, this treatment may help patients suffering from nephrotic syndrome. However, it may take several weeks for cyclophosphamide to make a difference.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Why is Cyclophosphamide Needed for Rare Kidney Disease Patients?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If too many relapses are occurring, a doctor may prescribe Cyclophosphamide. A doctor may recommend this treatment if nephrotic syndrome doesn\u2019t get better with steroid treatment or if it keeps coming back. Usual dosage time is 8\u201312 weeks. It should help symptoms to improve and help people to go into or stay in remission.<\/p>\n\n\n

How is Cyclophosphamide Administered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cyclophosphamide is available in tablet or liquid form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyclophosphamide is usually given once a day, usually in the morning to reduce the chance of developing bladder problems. The medication should be given at about the same time(s) every day so that this becomes part of a daily routine, which also helps patients to remember to take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doctor will determine the correct dose of Cyclophosphamide. A simple urine and blood test will be performed to make sure the dose is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tablets should be taken with a glass of water, milk, or juice. Tablets should not be chewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If taking the liquid form, measure the correct amount using an oral syringe or medicine spoon. (You can get these from your pharmacist.) Do not use a kitchen teaspoon because you will not be able to measure out the correct amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
