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!

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 ...

This generic mirapex has made me super nauseated each time I have taken it. I do not have this issue when I take Glenmarks 1.5 mg x4 tablets. The tablets that make me sick are dark pink, scored and have E 6 on one side. Has anyone else had this issue? ## I believe the tablet your talking about is actually considered brown by the manufacturer and the marking is actually 9 over 3. It is manufactured by Torrent Pharmaceuticals. There can be fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic to another, so this one could be a little stronger, which may be why it makes you sick. The inactive ingredients can also be completely different from one manufacturer to another, so there could be one of them that you're sensitive to. The FDA lists its typical side effects as poss...
