My experience: after having some troubles with nausea and vomiting, I now take 
the 600 mg at breakfast, if I eat a boiled egg, I never have problems; I do not 
know why!
All the best for everyone,

Subject: [CMLHope] Vomiting with Gleevec



My husband was diagnosed with CML in Aug 2006 and has been on 400mg of
Gleevec since diagnosis.  He has had intermittent problems with nausea
and vomiting since he started.  However, in the past two weeks, he has
had 3 instances of vomiting approx an hour after taking Gleevec.

He already "sandwiches" his pill with food and lots of water and he
takes Compazine about an hour before eating and taking Gleevec.
Yesterday, his oncologist suggested Reglan instead of Compazine;
however, he vomited again today so Reglan doesn't appear to be
effective.

Any suggestions from your experience?  We are in an excellent support
group and CMLHope was suggested by several of its members.

Thanks!
