Switch from Imbruvica to Venetoclax

I have been on Imbruvica for 1.5 years. I have lowered the dose with physician approval to 1 capsule 140mg a day almost 10 months ago but still having side effects mostly rash issues at the moment. My blood levels are almost normal. I would like to switch to Venetoclax and wonder if anybody with almost normal blood levels changed from Imbruvica to Venetoclax and what was the regiment and anybody on modified levels of Venetoclax? I seem to be very sensitive to any medications and usually do not tolerate suggested dosage.

if the imbruvica works but it's the side effects that are the issue you could try acalabrutinib first-brand name calquence. it works the same way as ibrutinib with fewer side effects,

Not what you're looking for?
