Common Questions and Answers about Imatinib sigma

Avatar f tn Eithne01, The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has changed significantly since the late 1990s, with the development and subsequent approval by the Food and Drug Administration of imatinib (in 2001), the first of a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which target the specific abnormality that causes CML. Before that time, patients were treated with other therapy, including interferon and bone marrow transplant, and had very poor outcomes.
Avatar n tn It is possible that the white blood cell count would normalize after 2 weeks of taking Imatinib (Gleevec). Most responses to Imatinib are rapid since it targets the molecular pathogenetic event in CML. You may seek a second opinion if that will give you a peace of mind. Good luck.
1004138 tn?1316251113 lots of people die all the time because they reject traditional treatments and go with 'natural' things instead I would think of using alternatives along with regular treatments, but not in place of them. Some alternative things might have some benefit. Isn't homeopathy the approach where you dilute some substance down to one part per billion or so, and then expect it to actually have some curing power?
Avatar n tn Are you currently on any medication like imatinib? The neutropenia can be due to your current medication. You can ask your hematologist for G-CSF injection if you have persistent neutropenia. Patients with CML are immunocompromised and can easily acquire infections. Neutropenia also puts a patient in an immunocompromised state. For now, it is very important to prevent acquiring any infection. You should avoid crowded places and persons with ongoing infection. Good luck.
Avatar m tn This virus and life with is so debilitating the emotional sigma is so much worst then physical and health risks. I simply don't understand why there is not more public campaigns to help remove the sigma from this disease. Seems like this is pushed to an underworld which no one wants to talk about. There numerous people come out and talk about and disclose their status with HIV.
Avatar n tn Hi. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a blood disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in the pleripotent stem cell. It has several phases: indolent chronic or stable phase, aggressive or advanced phase, and accelerated and blastic phase. The transition between phases may take years (on the average, 4 to 6 years from the stable phase to aggressive phase).
Avatar f tn Stadol is partial agonist/antagonist drug that blocks the mu opiate receptors and stimulates the sigma opiate receptors.Tramadol stimulates the Mu receptors and possibly the sigma as well.Looks like Stadol will block the effects of tramadol,but I have been wrong before and maybe there is some new literature that supports the use of these drugs together.I just have not been able to find it.
Avatar f tn Average survival rates are generalizations, not applicable to a particular patient. The prognosis is relatively good. Newer techniques are being tried, including imatinib and stem cell transplantation. All the best, and God Bless!
Avatar m tn Our moral support is a big support such patients who have social sigma. I remember when I had doubt over my being HIV positive when I experienced some early symptoms related to HIV in my body and it were you who encouraged me to get tested. Since i have gone through this state of fear and i can understand the gravity of problem. Thus we all need to encourage patients so that they could live normally among us.

Avatar m tn Pentazocine rather is thought to active delta and sigma opioid receptors. These receptors have been implicated in dissociative and hallucinatory effects. You are at greater risk of having a seizure from using the medication than you are from withdrawal. I don't know a lot about the withdrawal syndrome, but it is not considered to be life-threatening.
Avatar m tn She had surgery on 5/5 to remove tumor - included remover of omentum, full hysterectomy, and approx 10 cm of sigma colon removed (since tumor was around this part of colon). 2 small under 5 mm cancer tumors were left on diaphram - surgeon was confident chemo will handle. Otherwise, all cancer tumor was removed. A friend pointed out Mayo Clinic study from about 2006 that looked back at 244 patients that showed significant improval in 5 year survival by removing even under 1 cm spots on diagram.
Avatar f tn Tramadol does have effects at opiate receptors; I'm trying to remember if it works at the mu receptor, or only sigma receptors. Look it up on wikipedia; they have good info about most opiate medications. This early in 'sobriety' you need to avoid all psychotropic medications-- even benadryl. They all lead you back to the same old place.
Avatar f tn TY for the reply. Yes I was told and am thinking that its parasitc or allergy. I went to aruba in June but that wouldn't have an affect on me now, would it?
Avatar m tn that Sundays party at the Kappa Sigma house had started the previous Wednesday and we were still in attendance. Weeks passed. Finally a letter from the Director of the Internal Revenue Service arrived for Scott. The letter indicated that the IRS felt that we were good people with no criminal intent. BUT they had no idea what we had in mind when that return was filed.
1594760 tn?1298328021 Also Eutroxsig is an Aussie branded thyroxine T4 only medication. Made by Sigma here in Melbourne where I am! They make the generic Oroxine as well, (which is the same tablet only labelled differently!!!) It is not known outside of Australia. The closest to Eutroxsig would be Synthroid.
Avatar m tn Now I am worried that I got something from this encounter. Initially i have seen increasing sigma under foreskin and I have dried penis head for about 7 days, and I am applying petroleum gel. I also found high cholesterol last two weeks back and taking Atorvastatin 10mg. I am on regular BP medication and taking Enalapril Maleate 5mg and Amtadipine Besilate 5mg daily. I also have dried lips from few days and overall skin is drying in few more places, like hands and legs.
Avatar f tn Therapy with corticosteroids is used for the treatment of most and additional therapy is available and dependent upon the type of HS. Newer medicines such as imatinib and mepolizumab are said to be promising. So, should your son have HS, there is reason to be optimistic regarding a positive response to currently available therapy. You should request, of his doctor, an additional explanation for the tentative diagnosis of pre-hypertension. Good luck.
Avatar f tn well its a long story i wasn't feeling well about two three months ago and my doctor checked the symptoms and thought i might have inner ear infection so of course i took all these drugs for inner ear infection and then i took an ear test and it came back normal so i thought this might be the result of drugs or side effects, and i was on buspar too the anti-anxiety drug for a little bit, my neurologist also gave me neurobion i think thats what its called for vitamin B1, B6, B12 deficiency a
Avatar f tn Thank you for getting back to me, you have given me more realistic data than anyone else in the medical field. Would you suggest I do the Spinal MRI to rule out if I maybe I have a nerve root issue due to the correlation of body positioning upon pain onset? If I had an issue with my spine could it cause issues with the descending colon & sigma, meaning pain to touch or that "rope like legion" (may be inflammation now but it was there when I had the MRI & they saw nothing)?
