The 400 MG you refer to is a recommended dose but each individual reacts differently to any drug. In my wife's case that amount of Gleevec proved to be toxic to her. She started Gleevex the day after FDA approved it and within 60 days her Onc reduced her dose to 200MG daily. She's been in remission for all this time--- No such thing as a normal dose nor a normal response. We are all different--thankl the lord! > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
