Jeanie, When first started on Gleevec I was also on ALLOPURINOL, I was told by onc. that it was a preventative so I didn't get gout. He said with the Gleevec killing off so many CML cells that the allopurinol helps to flush them out of your system. Chuck

This is taken to cut down on the toxic effects of Gleevec. I remember I was taking it in the beginning but then the Dr quit giving it to me. I now have high potassium and was wondering if I might need this drug. Thanks, Jeanie<3 It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
