The side effects of oral chemotherapy drugs should not be underestimated

Master Liu is an old “stomach disease”, but he never wants to be examined. A few days ago, after repeated urging from his partner, he finally agreed to go to the hospital for a gastroscopy, which turned out to be “stomach cancer”. The result was “gastric cancer”. Immediately after the surgery, moncler outlet online Liu went to the city hospital and was unwilling to undergo chemotherapy because he was afraid of the side effects of chemotherapy. The doctor prescribed some oral chemotherapy “Xiloda” when he was discharged from the hospital and told him that the oral chemotherapy drug was very safe and had almost no side effects. However, just three days after he ate it, he developed bloating and diarrhea, and had more than 10 to 20 bowel movements per day, water and foam. The first two days were fine, how can suddenly appear diarrhea? The first time I went to the hospital to check, it was the trouble of “Siroda”. The first thing that I want to do is to take a look at the results. In the past, chemotherapy drugs were generally administered through intravenous injection, but recent studies have shown that some new chemotherapy drugs can be taken in the form of tablets or capsules, which is the so-called oral chemotherapy. Although oral chemotherapy drugs have the advantages of wider applicability, convenient administration and less side effects, it is still a kind of systemic chemotherapy after all, and its side effects cannot be ignored. In fact, oral chemotherapy drugs and intravenous chemotherapy drugs, if improperly applied, can also cause toxic side effects, which may cause delayed illness or endanger life. Take the common clinical use of the cialis, some patients will cause a variety of side effects after taking the drug. Clinical observation shows that nearly half of the patients, especially the elderly, may induce diarrhea after taking Siroda. Usually, most patients have grade 1 diarrhea (less than 4 times a day), which usually requires only symptomatic management with hydration and electrolyte replacement; if grade 2, 3 or 4 diarrhea occurs, the use of Siroda needs to be discontinued. Almost half of the patients may experience numbness, dullness, abnormal sensation, tingling, painlessness or pain in the skin of the hands and feet, swelling or erythema of the skin, flaking, blistering or severe pain after the use of Xyroda, which are manifestations of Xyroda-induced hand-foot syndrome. Usually, these manifestations can be significantly reduced with only enhanced care, such as not wearing tight clothes and avoiding strong skin friction; taking oral vitamin B6 daily. If the diarrhea and dermatitis of individual patients are more serious, such as diarrhea reaching 4 to 6 times a day and red, swollen and ulcerated skin, etc., they should be treated by a doctor and continue the medication when they return to normal. In addition, Siroda can cause fatigue, anorexia, mucositis, fever, weakness, drowsiness, neurological side effects such as headache, abnormal sensation, taste disorder, vertigo and insomnia, and hematological side effects such as anemia and neutropenia. This shows that although oral chemotherapy can be administered at home, we should be prepared. Ask your doctor for detailed advice before chemotherapy, how should you take oral chemotherapy drugs? What is the exact schedule? What are the possible adverse reactions to these drugs? When will the reactions be most severe? In addition, you should contact your doctor regularly to manage side effects and adjust your medication in a timely manner.
