Various drug interactions are known to cause conflicts with ongoing chemotherapy treatment.For example: Platelets help in blood clotting, and prevent excessive bleeding. Many chemotherapy drugs lower the number of platelets for a significant period of time. In addition to Chemotherapy, if a patient is on a course of aspirin or other similar blood-thinning medicines, it may cause severe bleeding, which a normal person (not receiving Chemotherapy) wouldn’t experience, while on the same drug.
It is very important to disclose all ongoing medicines, drugs, dietary supplements, herbal supplements/alternative medication to the consulting oncologists/doctors involved, before getting started with Chemotherapy.
Although side effects are a norm with Chemotherapy, sometimes their severity may require urgent medical attention, and should not be ignored especially when these symptoms are persistent. If a patient experiences any of the following symptoms persistently, or if the side effects are of a rapidly aggressive nature, relevant medical staff should be notified immediately.
