Reducing the dosage - Imatinib and CML

Has any one been recommended to reduce their dose to 200Mg what are your thoughts?

Iv'e been advised that there is a 95% success rate with 5% having to go back on 400Mg...my levels have been either 0 or 0.0007 during the last 11years

  • Hello lord-carl

    I can see from another of your posts that you've been living with CML for quite some time now and the medication you've mentioned reducing is Imatinib

    I've had a good look through the forum and unfortunately, we've only had a few posts where Imatinib is mentioned and none of the posts mentioned dosages of 200mg. You may have more luck in connecting with others who are living with CML and are on this treatment on the Blood Cancer UK forum as they are a more cancer-specific site. 

    Alternatively, if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're most welcome to give them a call. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any information and advice that they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes,
