I tolerated cytoxan pretty well, and I was on it for about 16 months. Current protocols call for using it for up to six months to bring the disease under control, then transition to immuran, methotrexate, or cellcept. You need to keep well hydrated and urinate whenever you have the urge. This is to prevent the ctx metabolates from spending too much time in the bladder. Your doc should monitor for blood in the urine as this is could be a symptom of cystitis.
