I've been very happy with the dasatinib bought from BonHoa Pharmacy for more than three years now. However, these last few months I've been experiencing various symptoms which I believe are related to this medicine. I have bone pain that no doctor is explaining, I often have some difficulty breathing and I feel tried all the time. Nevertheless, I would not chose to change dasatinib; I have tired four types of medications of which this was the only one I faced no side effect troubles with

The side effects make using Sprycel / Dasatinib kind of rough, major side effect (for me) is edema of the legs, feet, pleural cavity, etc. I've had a stem cell transplant so this drug shouldn't be critical (to me), others may choose to only keep ALL in remission by taking this drug, they can tell you how effective it is as a stand alone drug.

While this drug is easy to use and great for the treatment of CML its side effects are sometimes bothersome and hard to deal with on a daily basis most doctors tend to think that the side effects you tell them your experiencing are from other things and not from the medication, It does stop the disease in its tracks and with continued use keeps it at bay however it can become toxic and cause other side effects to manifest many which are treated with discontinued use until they receed and then a smaller dosage is given to keep the disease in check. I suffered toxicity which lead to severe anemia, renal failure, and congestive heart failure because it was not followed up on frequently enough but once the med was stopped function returned with treatment, however it is in the pt's interest to keep these side effects in check and closly monitored, such as edema which can be severe,stiffness in the joints and limbs as well as severe swelling in the lower legs,decreased urine output,andchest pain associatred from the severe fluid retention. It should also be noted that several diuretics were prescribed but not effective with the renal failureRead More Read Less
