I then started taking it earlier and earlier and found out from my onc that I could take loratadine (Claritin) or Mucinex to help with the cough. I tried the Mucinex first and it helped some but the loratadine helped the most. I now try to take the Sprycel around 2:00 p.m. It seems as long as I take it before 4:00 p.m., I fare a lot better with the coughing and shortness of breath. I don't like to take it close to my other meds which I take upon awakening. You say it sends you to the bathroom? I wish I had that problem. The Sprycel really binds me up (sorry to be gross/graphic). I've experienced terrible rectal tears (common in leukemia patients, I was sorry to find out) and nothing seems to work for this. Jamie Lee Curtis can stuff her Activia - it doesn't work. (LOL!) I tried prune juice, but couldn't gag it down. So....I'll have to rely on "chemical" treatments (meds) which I am loathe to do. Such as it is! Blessings to all!
