Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hi Gleevec definitely contributes to this. I take Coumadin (a blood thinner) daily. When I first started using Gleevec, I had to reduce the amount of Coumadin I took to achieve the INR (a test that measures the clotting time) level needed in my case. Zavie [ ] clotting problems? Hi: Today I had a CBC with fairly good results for me. Even the platelets were at 90000(very high for me). Because of various bruising and bleeding problems I've had, the doctor did a clotting test. My blood clots very, very slowly. Would gleevec contribute to that? This is probably a very silly question but I drink three or four cups of coffee a day, very strong. I love it. Would the coffee contribute to the slow clotting time? I take no aspirin. Occasionally, when my head is feeling really full with the Texas cedar and ragweed, I take a benadryl. Any ideas? The doctor ran some more tests so perhaps we can get to the bottom of this problem. Thanks, MJH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
