Gleevec dosage increases often disrupt cell counts, even if you have been on Gleevec for a while. I had stable counts on 400mg, then went to 600mg to get faster remission results, and I became anemic again and my WBC and platelet counts fell fast. When I went back to 400mg after a few months, everything stabilized again after a couple months.
I also think that splitting the dosage, taking half the daily dose at two meals, is a good idea, especially if you take 600mg or more. I even split the 400mg dosage, and take half at breakfast and half at lunch, which seems to minimize side effects. --Trey --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
