I have a history of breast cancer and presently taking EvistaEvista, Recently I have been diagnosed with CML. Have there been any negative drug interactions between the EvistaEvista and Gleevac??
It is reported not to eat grapefruit with Gleevac, are there other foods that need to be avoided??
From what I know and from my searches, there is no significant or negative interaction between EvistaEvista and Gleevec.
I have listed below the drugs that are contraindicated (should not be used) with Gleevec. These drugs tend to alter the way the drug is handled and excreted by the body.

ergot alkaloids, alfuzosin, eletriptan
ergotamine/caffeine, eplerenone
phenothiazines, cisapride, conivaptan
Discuss with your doctors if you are taking any of these. Note also that caffeine is included in the list.
