Hello
I was recently denied my medical on account of taking Tasigna so I'm now putting together a comprehensive package as part of a review/appeal. In speaking with the local FAA Surgeon, who by the way is very willing to help push the appeal along, it seems the pharmacological committee's reason for banning Tasigna is the due to the potential side effects it has on some patient's heart rhythm. Since Gleevec is approved for use, I assume this is either not an issue or one the FAA has been able to live with given regular reporting. If anyone has any guidance on how to position the argument for appeal, I would greatly welcome the feedback.
Thank you
Brooks
