Thanks ,

Their web site says that any birth control pills are no-nos because of drug-drug

interactions. Hopefully I'll figure something out.

Thanks,

Hi ,

The Web site does *not* say that people can't take birth control pills

while taking Gleevec. It notes simply that there is an " interaction "

between the two, as with many medications. That's a big difference. And

that does *not* mean that you can't take them both. This interaction

could affect the level of Gleevec in the bloodstream, and so simply, the

dose may need to be adjusted. That's all.

Wow, thanks for the clarification . I'll have to look further into it.

I looked it up and then asked my doctor and he said not to take any birth

control hormones. I'll try to research it a bit further myself.

Thank you,
