Hi Lee, When I was on Gleevec, I only took ibuprofen. I have a lot of pain in my back and hip so when I needed something stronger, my doctor prescribed Vicoprofen. I don't think is would hurt too much if you took Tylenol once in a great while (small amounts). I get migraines a lot and would take excedrine migraine which has acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine and it did not seem to effect my labs or how the Gleevec was working. Google Gleevec and search for drug interactions, you will be surprised at what you find. If you get sick and need antibiotics, be sure the prescribing doctor knows you're on Gleevec, there are several antibiotics that have interactions with Gleevec.
I hope this helps...I was on Gleevec for 1 1/2 years before it stopped working for me, now I have to figure out all the no no's with Sprycel now. Hope this helped some :-) Lenda -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi everyone! > I have posted on here a few times before and have received replies that > were very helpful.
