My wife takes 4 megs of Gleevec and she has a rash. Did you or have you gotten a rash. Thank you, Don She has had CML for 9 years Hi and no, I haven't had the rash as of yet, but I know it is a problem for some. I found this on the NOVARTIS site. Some patients taking Gleevec develop a skin rash. Rash has been reported in up to 47% of CML patients and 53% of patients with GIST. If you notice any red patches, itchiness, or blistering, contact your physician. You may be given an additional medication, such as an antihistamine or a topical corticosteroid, to reduce the signs and symptoms of rash. If additional treatment does not help and the rash grows severe, your physician may find it necessary to interrupt or even discontinue your therapy. **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.
