- when to take medications: Vision Problems

[Guest guest]

Hi

I take my glivec in the morning and then all other medications at least

5 hours after so take those in the evening

I have just come out of hospital myself for day treatment to take off a couple

of moles - given a bag of antibiotics.

Even then - advised not to take with glivec, given a lower dose of antibiotics

but over a longer time to take - instead of 6 days - 10 days, instead of 4 per

day

- two per day because they were worried about drug interaction.

Very important that you discuss with your CML specialist what other drugs you

are taking and the issue of drug interaction.

Even the drug interaction of the other medication you are taking.

Example

My Mum is in her late 80's

Taking drugs for this and that - and when her specialist asked her what she

takes (medication). She forgot to state her glaucoma eye drops, over the counter

health products etc. We went home and he asked for me to write down everything

she takes - and we went back to him - amazing how much my mother was putting

into her system in the belief she was helping her health. Many of the drugs she

was taking were interacting. Now on 4 drugs only which includes her eye

medication.

So you need to be very careful
