Iclusig is the generic form of Ponatinib.
I was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009, and my prognosis was that I would live 10 years - if I was lucky.
After subsequently being prescribed other medications, I began taking iclusig in latter 2013 when it was first introduced, and even after it was removed due to side effects for 3 months, during which the manufactor provided it to me free of charge. In January 2014 it was put back on the market. My dosage was reduced to the minimum and required me to take a baby aspirin daily, and make regular visits to a cardiologist.
I’m still taking it, and my CML is nearly in molecular remission.
Prayers for your healing.
High five!
