Ossitinib is a targeted drug that is mainly used to treat lung cancer and other diseases. Some of the ingredients in Ossitinib are highly irritating to the body’s cells, and diarrhea is one of the common adverse reactions. For diarrhea caused by taking ositinib, you may consider using other medicines to improve it, or adjusting the way you take the medicine.
1. Use of other drugs: If the symptoms of diarrhea are mild, there is no need to stop the drug. If the symptoms of diarrhea are more severe, you may use medications such as montelukast and loperamide hydrochloride capsules as prescribed by your doctor. When the diarrhea symptoms are sufficiently relieved, you can continue to take the medicine according to your own situation.
2. Adjustment of medication: If the diarrhea symptoms are more serious and accompanied by nausea, fatigue, or even dehydration, you need to temporarily stop taking OXITINI. Adjust the dosage and duration of the medication according to your symptoms and under the guidance of your doctor. If the symptoms are not relieved after adjustment, you can follow the doctor’s advice to decide whether to stop taking the drug.
In addition, patients should pay attention to maintain a light diet and rest more often during the use of the drug. When the symptoms of diarrhea appear when taking OXITINI, you should consult the doctor in time and treat accordingly under the doctor’s guidance.
