Could anyone please let me know what anti-inflammatory drug I can take safely? I am on 600mg Tasigna. Thanks.

Minu,

Don't take any OTC drugs before talking to your doc. I would suggest the one you can take the least of, such as a 12-hour anti-inflammatory vs. a 4-hour anti-inflammatory drug.

I take Curcumin (C3 complex) as an anti-inflamatory (arthritis, headache). It should be the kind that has bioperine in it (i.e. pepper). A minimum of two grams is sufficient for inflammation pain. I take eight grams per day as an additional co-medication with Sprycel.

The Curcumin has done wonders for my arthritis (don't feel it anymore) and I haven't had a headache in years.

Curcumin is the active ingredient in the Turmeric root. I also use Turmeric powder in food prep, but only occasionally.

Diagnosed 11 May 2011 (100% FiSH, 155% PCR)

with b2a2 BCR-ABL fusion transcript coding for the 210kDa BCR-ABL protein

Sprycel: 20 mg per day - taken at lights out with Quercetin and/or Magnesium Taurate

6-8 grams Curcumin C3 complex.

2015 PCR: < 0.01% (M.D. Anderson scale)

2016 PCR: < 0.01% (M.D. Anderson scale)

March 2017 PCR: 0.01% (M.D. Anderson scale)

June 2017 PCR: "undetected"

September 2017 PCR: "undetected"

Naproxen (Aleve) is generally considered the best choice when taking TKIs. Tylenol is hard on the liver and Ibuprofen (Motrin) can possibly interfere with uptake of some of the TKI drugs (especially Sprycel).
