Continuous dasatinib (100 mg/day for CML) causes pleural effusion in 28–35%, thrombocytopenia in 22%, and peripheral neuropathy in up to 10% of patients over months to years. Intermittent senolytic dosing (100 mg × 2–3 days per quarter) has a dramatically different and much more favorable risk profile — with only transient, mild thrombocytopenia observed in published aging trials.

Can I take dasatinib without a doctor?

No. Dasatinib requires medical prescription and should only be used under physician supervision for longevity purposes. The monitoring requirements (CBC, ECG) cannot be adequately self-managed. Find a longevity physician who can prescribe and monitor.

Is dasatinib covered by insurance for aging?

No. Off-label dasatinib for aging is not covered by insurance in most countries. Out-of-pocket costs range from $50–$300+ per treatment cycle depending on generic availability.
