Which drug is indicated for use in CML and should be taken with food?

Imatinib (Gleevec)
Dasatinib
Nilotinib
Vemurafenib (Zelboraf)

The correct answer is: Imatinib (Gleevec)

Imatinib (Gleevec) is the correct answer. Imatinib is indicated for the treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). It is important to take Imatinib with food to help increase its absorption and reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Dasatinib and Nilotinib are also used in the treatment of CML, but they are not required to be taken with food like Imatinib. Vemurafenib (Zelboraf) is not indicated for the treatment of CML.
