Hi I have been on Sprycel for almost 3 years now. With any cancer drug it must be monitored carefully during the first few weeks you take it, Your blood counts can go down fast so keep a check on them. You can take it with or without food, but I don't like to take any meds without food so I take mine with my breakfast. I have had less side effects with Sprycel than any other drug I took, and I have taken them all. I did have bad sinus headaches in the beginning but they are better now. Good luck, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 11/20/2011 10:03:56 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
For me, that was the wonderful thing about switching from glevec to sprycel. I can take it anytime with or without food.
