CML and COPD and Bronciectsis

Hello and welcome to our rather exclusive club that we'd all rather not be in! :-)

Imatinib and amoxicillin don't have any known interactions. Nor does imatinib and doxycycline. There's a handy medication intereaction checker at  drugs.com which you might find useful in the future when you're not sure if you should take something or not. I find that a GP or a pharmacist doesn't usually understand potential drug interactions with TKIs.

I'm actually currently taking dasatinib and amoxicillin to clear out a bit of a chest infection, and Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium) is routinely given to CML patients in my hospital when they are suspected of having an infection.

Hi again Gordon,

Are you newly diagnosed? If so, and you have any questions at all we'll all be delighted to help as best we can. You will also find useful info under the "CML Facts" and "Living" sections on this web site. You can also find things like questions to ask your doctor in the first few meetings.
