Does taking medical marijuana adversely affect the treatment? I am taking an 800mg dose of Gleevec a day and have had my tumor removed. ## As of this time, tests have not shown marijuana to adversely react with any medications, or treatments. However, it can have some adverse effects on your lungs, overall, according to FDA reports, just like smoking anything else would. It can also cause dizziness, and a very bad case of the munchies, from what I've heard. LOL Given that you are on Gleevec and have had a tumor removed, it is always best to double check with your doctor about adding, or changing anything else, just to be extra careful. How are you reacting to the Gleevec? Have you experienced any problematic side effects from it?

I have had similar side effects to taking Gleevec and Meloxicam. What compounds are the same in these two meds that I am allergic to. Mainly, severe facial swelling. Thank you. ## I recently had a pharmacist look up possible similarities in Gleevec and Meloxicam and they were magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and microcrystalline cellulose. ALL are fillers in medications. Supposedly, pharmaceutical companies use cheaper fillers in generic meds. But neither of these meds are generics. Does anyone know anything about microcrystalline cellulose?? As to its source?? ## Hello, Janet! How are you? Meloxicam is a generic, the name brand for it is Mobic. But I've never heard anything about them using 'cheaper' fillers, there is a certain list of them they can choose from that are...

I take Gleevec 400mg for CML. After a short period of time I experience some very rough side effects. Bones hurt, eyes are blurry, I feel like I am sick from my head to my toes, my chest is tight, my skin tingles, along with some others. I have been told to get off of them for 2 weeks and they pretty much go away. The BCR ABLE is 0 and other blood test results are in range. I keep thinking that the dosage is too high but my doctor won't reduce the dosage. Anyone know why? Or is it possibly something else? ## Unfortunately, all cancer medications are very harsh and can cause some annoying/unwanted side effects. Nothing you've listed is unusual for the medication you've mentioned, according to the FDA, you may also experience nausea, headache, stomach pain, and easy bruising. ...

Does Gleevec work for acute eczema and acute dry skin? ## I don't have any information on this, but I can tell you that there have been several people posting that it has worked and several others who have heard of it and have been asking the same types of questions Gleevec is currently approved to treat certain types of cancer, so the side effects of these types of medications can be pretty prodigious and I am not certain it would be worth using to treat a skin condition. Does anyone else have experience using this? ## It gave me a rash and bad itching. Took a low dose of Prednisone to get rid of it. I would say NO!

Can anyone else tell me how long gone after starting gleevec gleevec will side effects show hp? ## It can vary from person to person, some people may experience side effects upon the first dose, but for others it may take a week or so, and there are always some people that don't experience any. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, vomiting, skin rash, diarrhea and joint/muscle pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I vaguely remember being told Gleevec and antihistamines do not mix, can anyone confirm this ?

I have a GIST Tumor and have started taking Gleevec, 800MGS per day. I know there is no cure but I am curious about how long people live on average. My dr talks about the guy that has been on it for 8 years but I know he is the exception. What I can surmise is about 3-5 years. Any input would be appreciated ## Hello, GG! How are you? I am very sorry about your diagnosis and I sincerely hope you continue to do well. Yes, it seems the median average is about 5 years, though those who have surgery and take Gleevec for 3 years have been known to survive an additional 10 years, if they had a recurrence and full life spans for those who weren't at risk of recurrence. Overall, with the new treatment protocols that have been discovered after 2000, the overall 5 year survival rate for those ...

Cancer drug needed to stay alive, looking for more details. ## I believe the drug you're looking for is called Gleevec. ## I would like details on how patients with leukemia from third world countries can get access to this drug at cheaper cost? I am in Kenya with a friend who really needs this drug badly. ## Sorry, this site does not sell nor prescribe drugs and I do not have any information on how to obtain it.

Can you tell me what this is? The imprint is g551 on a rectangular white pill. I can not locate it. Thank you. ## Hi Jackie, Would you describe the "G" as being hexagonal-like in structure? Or is it pretty much a normal looking lowercase "g"? I've seen rectangular Xanax bars with a similar description, such as G|372|2 (with score lines in between the digits) and couldn't help but wonder if your pill had any of these features too... Whereabouts did you get it from? ## Like a capital G I found it on the floor in a store.

2mg Alprazolam Bar (Xanax) by Dava Pharma. ## They are really good, alot of pharmacies are switching to them, so far I know riteaid and target has. I like them better than the white bars. They only have 3 scores in them not 4. I think they say "S 90 3" on them. But theyre def very good. Think they use different binders or less binders, either way call me crazy but I noticed a big difference and liked them more than any bar ive had and ive had them all. ## That is correct, this tablet contains 2mgs of Alprazolam, which is the active ingredient in Xanax, it is a Benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. Thus, it may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Learn more Xanax detail...

I've been on amoxicillin for 3 days now for a gum infection.. within the first day my whole right side of my face swelled up and on the second day my eye was so swollen I could barely open it... its the third day and now not only am I dealing with all this swelling but now my gums are bleeding... is this normal? ## Hi micki, To be completely honest, the reactions you're experiencing don't seem "normal" by any means, but are unfortunately side effects of Amoxicillin. You should speak with your doctor immediately, so the condition doesn't worsen. He/she may need to prescribe a different antibiotic or lower the dosage. You may also want to consider taking a probiotic while on the antibiotic, to reinstate good bacteria in your body. Have you had negative reactions wi...

I have a infection under an old root canal. Dentist sent me to Endo who opened the tooth redid the root canal packed it and gave my amoxicillin 500x3 day. Pain the next day was so bad I went back to Endo and he took out the packing to let it drain. Went back two days later and he repacked the tooth. The packing fell out the same day and I had to leave the country for two weeks. I am scheduled to see a Endo when I get back to fill the root canal, I am now a week in and in Mexico and can’t bite without severe pain. Don’t know what to do. ## While I understand that the best option is to save a tooth, if possible, you might be at the point where an extraction might be your best bet to do away with the pain and recurring issues. Was the tooth ever capped? Once a root canal is don...

Hi. I have gum infection due to my wisdom teeth. I am pregnant so I can get them extracted now . But my dentist prescribed Tylenol and amoxicillin now the question is my gum turned red like it was bloodshot after my first dosage of the antibiotics then the next day I discovered that it became really soft and had like a pulse... few hours later blood and what not came out of the pulse and it felt numb like I wasn't feeling any pain again but it's still swollen a bit . Is that it healing? Or I should be worried ## It sounds like you had an abscess infection, and it drained. I experienced many of them, myself, before I finally got rid of all my teeth and got dentures. You should definitely finish the antibiotics, and consult your doctor, or dentist, if you experience any other prob...

I found a round dark green pill with A _215 on one side and blank on the other .its speckled as well.anybody know what it is. ## Based on your description, the closest match I could locate is a round green pill marked with "A 214" on one side and blank on the other. The "A" is sitting above a score line, with "214" underneath. There don't appear to be any specs as you mentioned, but is it possible that you could've misread the imprint? This particular pill is identified as Oxycodone hydrochloride 15 mg, used in the treatment of chronic pain. Manufacturer: Actavis National Drug Code (NDC): 52152-0214 You can learn more about this drug on the page for Oxycodone Details I hope this info helps! ## Small round light tan with speckles.

I'm trying to find out what the green specks in these pills are. Are they just there for the detail or are they apart of the medicine? Does it have to do with the delivery of medicine or is it the hydrocodone its self? Just curious, any ideas? ## The green specks are really nothing, just something the manufacturer decided to do. As a matter of fact, there are many more of them on the market, that are just plain pills, mostly white, which have no specks, at all. Hydrocodone is a narcotic pain reliever. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Learn more: Are there any other questions or comments?
