Re: Managing Gleevec side effects

[Guest guest]

Hi: I only take a Daily Vitamin and I take B12. I also have to start taking

some Vitamin D, but otherwise I have been on Gleevec 400MG. for 9 years without

any other supplements. The best thing is to have everything checked in your

blood work, and let your doctor know if you are lacking any specific vitamins.

energy?

After 9 years on Gleevec, I still take a multi-vitamin, 1000mg C, a B-complex

(for energy) and when needed, potassium (helps with the edema)
