Imatinib 800mg

Categories:

Hi,
Has any one ever taken 800mg of imatinib?
Any side effects?

Not a good idea, generally. More so not a good idea when there are alternative drugs available.

Do you have an alternative to 400mg imatinib instead of upping the dose?

David.

Justina, I found a previous post of yours from February, 2020 which stated you had a PCR reading of 0.006 in November, 2019. Please explain.

Hi,

Indeed the BCR went down to zero. I have been on zero for over 2 plus years.

In March 2023 I did the test again it was 0℅, in June the results were 25%.
And my doctor, recommended to up the meds.

Justina, did you do a retest at that time and have you tested again since the June 2023 test? Are you still currently taking Imatinib 400mg or have you already upped your Imatinib dosage to 800mg?
