Hi Zavie,

Oh, thank you so much for telling Novartis about the Tasigna packaging.

Please bring it up again! I wish I could be there with my Tasigna and ask

one of those executives to take the pills out of the cardboard. It is so

difficult to pop them out that I have had some pills break apart during the

process. Then I have white powder all over and have to throw the pill away.

I also hate the fasting required, but they probably can't change that.

I just got my latest pcr results back. Fortunately, I'm still " negative "

as my doctor reports it. I'm doing well on Tasigna, but sure get

frustrated at that packaging!

When I had pills come in difficult bubble packaging, I used scissors to cut them

out.  My pills come in a bottle, how difficult is that?  and surely much

cheaper to package.
