Just been diagnosed a few months with CML

I am on 600 mg a day of tasigna. I have a very bad rash all over my body. Has anyone had this and I have had hair loss too

Shelia,

I was diagnosed last year in December and strated Tasgina 600mg ( 300mg twice a day).
First three months I had almost no side effects but on the fourth months I had real bad rashes on my body , especially on my back . It was very itchy . I took cetrizine 10 mg . One dose of cetrizine helped to control the itching and rashes for about 3-4 days. After about 6 months the problem faded away. ( So I had this issue between 4-6 months ) .

I wish you all the best.

Regards
Naj
