Brukinsa Reactions

San Sntonio, Tx

I’ve been on Brukinsa about 4 weeks. Today I felt a little faint after standing for a while. Wondering if anyone has had side effects from taking Brukinsa?

Members shared their early experiences with Brukinsa, describing a range of side effects including skin rash, joint aches, dry itchy skin, fatigue (especially in late afternoon), lightheadedness after standing, and frequent urination that may lead to dehydration. Several members discussed practical strategies like staying hydrated to prevent fainting, switching from Calquence due to severe diarrhea and colitis, and working with doctors to manage medication interactions and potassium levels. A recurring theme was the challenge of distinguishing medication side effects from pre-existing conditions like allergies or anemia, with many expressing gratitude for being able to maintain active lives despite the adjustments required by treatment.

Glad to hear calquence is fine for you. Many on that med have had many adverse side effects including afib but from what I read all btkis have potential for sane adverse effects. Also many have had only minor side effects. Kinda depends on the persons overall health other than the leukemia or lymphoma I guess.

I’m three weeks into this one. Mostly more fatigue, especially right around 4:00 I lose all motivation to do anything but be a couch potato. Often sleeping for 3-4 hours. Then it upsets my sleep at night..
