Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 On my vist to my oncologist at Moffitt CC last week, my doctor wanted to increase my daily dosage of Sprycel from 70 mg to 100 mg per day. While I unsuccessfully lobbied to be kept at the lower dose he stated that he wanted me to be kept at a theraputic dose. I should point that on my last two PCR test, I had a two log increase, but that was while I was on Tasigna and on Sprycel at 50 mg. I have not been tested yet on Sprycel at 70 mg, which was the basis for my argument. However, he was disappointed that we went from PCRU to two successive PCRs showing increases. However, I had to take a break on Tasigna as my blood pressure was hitting 160/120 and I knew it was the medication, which he disputed as I had gained a lot of weight on Gleevec. Once I got on Sprycel, my BP rocked down as I had projected to 126/76 which is more normal for me. So this long story, to get my question out is this: If you are on or have been on Sprycel, what was your normal dosage? Was it 100 mg or are there people that are or were on lower doses?
