What are the precautions for using Pemigatinib?

The use of Pemigatinib requires the patient and physician to focus on several aspects of caution to ensure the safety and efficacy of the treatment.

1. Avoid food and drug interactions

Certain foods and medications may interact with Pemigatinib, affecting its efficacy or increasing the risk of adverse effects. Patients should avoid eating or drinking foods and drinks that may affect drug metabolism, such as grapefruit juice, during the medication, and consult their doctor in advance about the use of other medications.

2. Regular review

Patients need to be regularly reviewed and monitored for timely adjustment of treatment regimens and response to adverse reactions.

3. Psychological support

Cancer treatment is stressful, so patients should actively seek psychological support and maintain good communication with doctors, family, and friends.

What to pay attention to in your diet when using Pemigatinib

When using Pemigatinib, patients need to pay attention to the following aspects of their diet to ensure the effectiveness of the drug and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions:

1. Avoid irritating foods

Spicy foods such as chili, spicy hotpot, etc., may irritate the gastrointestinal tract and aggravate adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea caused by Pemigatinib.

2. Maintain a balanced diet

Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and minerals that help replenish the nutrients your body needs and boost your body's immunity.

3. Avoid foods that interact with medications

Grapefruit contains certain ingredients that may affect the metabolism of Pemigatinib, reduce the efficacy of the drug, or increase the risk of adverse reactions. Consumption of large amounts of grapefruit or consumption of grapefruit juice should be avoided while taking Pemigatinib.

Psychological support for patients with cholangiocarcinoma

Psychological support for patients with cholangiocarcinoma is an indispensable part of the treatment process and has an important impact on the patient's recovery and quality of life.

1. Consciousness adjustment

Patients should be as clear as possible about their disease status and treatment options, correctly understand the disease, and avoid excessive panic or blind optimism.

2. Psychological counseling

Patients with cholangiocarcinoma often face negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, and fear. Professional counseling is needed to help patients alleviate these emotions and provide positive psychological support.

【Warm tips】When patients buy generic drugs, they should choose formal channels to ensure the quality and safety of the drugs. Avoid purchasing counterfeit products from informal sources.
