Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 When I was on Gleevec, I found that it gave me vertigo and I was very unsteady going down stairs. I fell a number of times and one particularly nasty fall on the side of a pool did some damage to my knee caps. It finally got so bad I went to my primary care physician and he recommended that I take Glucosamine tablets. Any knowledgeable CMLers now if there is a drug interaction between Tasigna (or Gleevec) and Glucosamine?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hi Matt, not sure about glucosamine, but I take 6 fish oil capsules a day and no problems, which is very similar.
