Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hello, I am looking into info regarding the other options besides Gleevec.Tasigna said it contains lactose.I am lactose intolerant would this drug not be an option for me then? It also said to take it every 12 hours on an empty stomach.I have to eat something every 2 hours due to diabetis and prior surgeries(band,Wls)In order to get enough nutrients in me.Seems this would be an issue for me as well then. I couldn't find any info in the File section regarding Sprycel.I searched the database for info and basically all I found was people having problems with it and stopping use.Can those on this drug ofer any info about it.How is it taken(with food/without?) How long before or after food?Side effects? Any info for either med would be great if anyone cares to share their experience.I want to switch off Gleevec due to QOL issues.Side effects are really getting to me and I am tired of being tired and bedridden at 41. Thanks in advance for any info offered.Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. SharonS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
