Okay, I asked this question, and according to my doctors there has been no medical literature about this topic. To be on the safe side, my allergist decided to discontinue the allergy shots.
However, should you need to actually know, I recommend to ask an expert Doctor Who is handling your case.
Cyclosporin is a medication that suppresses a part of the immune system involving immune cells and not antibodies. It may affect the way your immune system responds to the allergy immunotherapy. If your Allergies are causing you symptoms then it proves that your allergic antibody production is normal. There is no problem with side effects when using both treatments together and sometimes it helps. It is true that there aren't any clinical studies on this but I have seen patients on low dose Cyclosporin do well on allergy immunotherapy.

How allergy shots would help a person with allergies?
A person with allergies is generally understood to have an immune system that over-reacts to normal and inocuous materials, such as pollen. The "allergy shot" is an injected solution containing a very dilute and small amount of these materials. The idea behind allergy shots is to continuously expose the immune system to very low levels of the material so that the immune system learns to "tolerate" the material and the person will stop having allergy symptoms. Generally the person will need to be on allergy shots for the rest of his/her life - without constant low-level stimulation, the immune system tends to lose its tolerance and the allergy symptoms return.
