How is Kisqali affecting you?

I always start a new medication with out reading the side affects so that I can give it a chance but Kisqali was not for me as I had every side affect listed and more. Had to stop taking it. 🙁

Thanks

I try that too but they made me talk to a specialty pharmacist first.

I’ve been on Kisqali for a few months. No side effects at all.

Initially I had diarrhea but after a few weeks I was fine.

I’m completing my first month of Kisquali now. No specific side effects that I noticed. My red and white blood cell counts dropped, but my doc says I’m still ok and the drop is expected with this drug.

Yes my white blood count also dropped from Kisquali. Now it back up this month

I’ve been on Kisqali for three years and have had minimal side effects. Take it with your biggest meal. I found my hair and nails are not as healthy as they once were but that’s a small price to pay. You will do monthly routine bloodwork to ensure your numbers hold up.

Thank you all

I’m on my second course of Kisqali and my liver ALT went up to 84 after retest. Pausing and more labs in 4 days. Have a bit of rash and itchy skin but so far feel good and able to exercise. Also had WBC drop and back up. This is pre surgery so tumor will shrink in axial lymph node.
