I am taking Brukinsa .Im in my second or third week of it and im getting marks that look like bruises on my arms.something im taking is making my skin thinner and more prone to bruises.i just woke up one morning with all of these marks on my arms .the usual with these strong drugs, diarhea like symptoms but when I take imodium they disappear. i also take Ozempic and metformin which have made me immune to the diarhea ive gotten used to it and it has subsided.I actually had to go into the hospital after I got a disease named CDiff which severely dehydrated me from all of the diarhea . so ive been through the gauntlet. things have slowed down though and no more problems with that .

Thank you, best wishes to you.

Everyone is different. Discuss side effects with your CLL expert. I was on an early clinical trial of ZANUBRUTINIB and have remained on it for almost nine years. (Still a clinical trial to determine long term efficacy and side effects.) My side effects are minimal—mainly easy bruising. Good luck!
