Re: Sprycel Side Effects LB

LB-

Weight gain is a side effect. I think you need to look at is it weight gain

or fluid retention. I know that I gain 17 pounds of Gleevec and besides the

puffy eyes and face, I had a constant ringing /swooshing in my right ear

(fluid) as well as pockets of fluid in my lungs that I didn't know about until

I

had a routine chest X-ray. Also was walking around with pneumonia another

time and didn't know it.

remember to report any unusual weight gain (monitor daily) as well as any

increasing shortness of breath, or getting winded easily as these can be signs

of fluid retention.
