Dasatinib

Hi everyone

Just voicing a point of view.

I was on dasatinib for just over two years when i developed a plural effusion and I am now taking Imatinib. I had a months worth of drugs left over and when I mentioned to the pharmacist that I would return them as I knew how expensive they are - she said that they would not be able to use them and they would be destroyed!!! They are all still sealed

This really made me cross and it seems such a waste of money, bearing in mind how much they are.

There you go that is my moan for a Sunday

Jacqui,
This system does really seem a waste of expensive drugs.
When I switched from Imatunib to Dasatinib, my next 3 months supply of Imatunib had been delivered 3 days before the possible switch. I did not even open the jiffy bag they were delivered in, & took them with me to my appointment at the hospital, only to be told that they would probably be destroyed, in case they had been tampered with.
