Tapering Cytoxan

**drz** · 11-07-2010, 07:36 AM

My rheumatologist says it is time to start decreasing my Cytoxan.

I haven't read much about how people come off Cytoxan? It is a problematic as tapering off prednisone?

I don't remember ever tapering ctx, but it was some time ago. I think I just made a straight switch to Azathioprine.
