Need some help -- Drug Interactions In Imatinib Therapy

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

For a while i'm having some trouble with my stomach. Endoscopy results shows

that there is bacterium called helicobacter pylori in my stomach which causes

serious stomach problems. So my doctor told me to begin an antibiotics therapy

for a week which contains 1000 mg clarithromycin every day. I asked him if there

is an interaction between gleevec and this antibiotics and his answer was " no " .

The problem is that i searched the web and read that there is an interaction

between imatinib and clarithromycin. I'm really confused now and i dont know

what to do. I will be very happy if someone has a knowledge or idea about this.
