Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I get it within 5-10 mins of taking the pill and it lasts about an hour. > > > > Hi Everyone, > > > > I'm curious to know how many of you take anti-nausea drugs, which > > kind and how well they work. > > > > Most of you newbies probably aren't aware of this but Gleevec used > > to come in capsule form but was changed to the pills we get now, > > some time ago.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 > I take Kytril. I take it one hour before I eat and take gleevec it lasts 24 hours. It works wonderfully I have not had any nausea since I have started taking it. The only complaint however is that for me it has caused constipation.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hi Kris, Thanks for your reply. If constipation is a problem for you, try taking a magnesium pill, that'll get you running forsure Tracey > > I take Kytril. I take it one hour before I eat and take > gleevec it lasts 24 hours.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi Tracey, Also being from Canada, not to long ago I was switched to the 400 mg pills and I also had severe nausea with occasional vomiting so I simply went back to 4 x 100 mg pills and I don't have anymore problems. Hope this helps, > > Hi Everyone, > > I'm curious to know how many of you take anti-nausea drugs, which > kind and how well they work. > > Most of you newbies probably aren't aware of this but Gleevec used > to come in capsule form but was changed to the pills we get now, > some time ago.
