Re: question about starting Tasigna

[Guest guest]

:

I was on Tasigna but had to

quit because of BP issues. It

is a rare side effect.

However when you start I found

it better to go in smaller increments

and gradually raise it up over

several weeks to allow your

body time to adjust.

Let me know if you have

any other questions.
