Hello Reeseru yep, think it's one of the recognized side effects. I've had two which seems to come when I've not drunk sufficient water the day before. So now I make sure as well as my mug of tea and coffee I drink a big glass of water first thing, then a second big glass after taking the ibrutinib tablet, then continue with drinking water during the day (about 2 litres not including tea/coffee) It was what was recommended in the community and it seems to work for me.

If you're not already using it, I highly recommend D-Mannose (1,000 mg capsules) for UTIs. According to research, it's a simple sugar that sticks to the bacteria that cause UTIs, such as E. coli, preventing them from adhering to the bladder walls & urethra. This allows the bacteria to be flushed out of the body through urination
