Now-a-days every individual is familiar with disease termed as cancer, its kinds, types, treatment and prognosis. The treatment of the cancer is through the radiation, surgery, chemotherapy and some drugs are also being used to cure the disease. But the lesser known fact is the harmful interaction of cancer pills with other medicine. It’s alarming! we better draw our attention to this very fact.
To elaborate this concern more let me explain this fact in more vivid words to you. When a person take the cancer pills with some commonly prescribed drugs such as antihistamines and acid blockers, then these common medicine render the effect of the cancer drugs less effective or dangerously potent.
This very fact is well researched and documented by the Medco Research Institute, a non-profit organization. They have reviewed the pharmacy claims of many patients and reported that about 11,600 patients are on Kinase inhibitor, a drug to cure cancer.
The researchers have found that most of the cancer patients are also taking other medicine like proton pump inhibitors, steroids, calcium channel blockers and other antibiotics, which are minimizing the effectiveness of the cancer pills side by side.
Most of time primary care physician recommend these medicine to the cancer patients without the notice of their oncologist or the patients are using these drugs over-the-counter, which is harmful as is inhibiting the effect of cancer pills.
Conclusively the cancer patients should consult their oncologist before using any other medicine while using cancer pills, so that they shouldn’t get much damage because of the dangerous interaction of the drugs.
Please spread the word to alert and save others as well!
