Were you looking for information about Tasigna? Tosigna is a common misspelling of Tasigna.
If you have chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), your healthcare provider may prescribe Tasigna® (nilotinib) to help slow down the progression of your cancer. It comes as a capsule that is taken twice daily on an empty stomach. You may not be able to take this drug if you have certain allergies or if you are taking certain medications, vitamins, or supplements. Headaches, fatigue, and nausea are among the possible side effects.
