Some common side effects of Gleevec (Imatinib) mentioned by patients include swelling, shortness of breath, bloating, and digestive issues. To manage these side effects, some patients have found it helpful to have small meals, avoid certain foods like milk, and stay hydrated. Ginger tea was also mentioned as a remedy for nausea. It's also important to communicate openly with your oncologist about any issues you're experiencing, as they can adjust your treatment plan and prescribe medications to alleviate some of the side effects.
