About Ibronza 140Mg Capsule

Ibronza 140Mg Capsule belongs to the group of anti-cancer medicines called protein kinase inhibitors used to treat the following blood cancers in adults- mantle cell lymphoma (cancer affecting the lymph nodes), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (cancer affecting white blood cells and lymph nodes), and waldenström's macroglobulinaemia (cancer affecting white blood cells).
 
Ibronza 140Mg Capsule contains Ibrutinib, which works by blocking Bruton's tyrosine kinase, a protein in the body that helps cancer cells grow and survive. Thereby, it kills and reduces the number of cancer cells. It also slows down the worsening of cancer.
 
In some cases, Ibronza 140Mg Capsule may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, and fatigue. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. Do not be reluctant to talk with your doctor if any of the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Do not take Ibronza 140Mg Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult the doctor immediately if you become pregnant during treatment with Ibronza 140Mg Capsule . This medicine is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Inform the doctor about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Uses of Ibronza 140Mg Capsule

Medicinal Benefits

This medicine may also be used to treat marginal zone lymphoma (cancer that begins in a type of white blood cells that normally fights infection) and chronic graft vs host disease (a complication of hematopoietic stem-cell transplant). Ibronza 140Mg Capsule contains Ibrutinib, which works by blocking Bruton's tyrosine kinase (a protein in the body that helps cancer cells grow and survive). Thereby, it kills and reduces the number of cancer cells. It also slows down the worsening of cancer.

Side effects of Ibronza 140Mg Capsule
Managing Medication-Triggered UTIs: A Comprehensive Approach:
  • Inform your doctor about the medication you're taking and the UTI symptoms you're experiencing.
  • Your doctor may adjust your medication regimen or consider alternative medications or dosages that may reduce the risk of UTIs.
  • Drink plenty of water (at least 8-10 glasses a day) to help flush out bacteria. Avoid sugary drinks and caffeine, which can exacerbate UTI symptoms.
  • Urinate when you feel the need rather than holding it in. This can help prevent bacterial growth and reduce the risk of UTIs.
  • Consider cranberry supplements: Cranberry supplements may help prevent UTIs by preventing bacterial adhesion.
  • Monitor UTI symptoms and report any changes to your doctor.
  • If antibiotics are prescribed, take them as directed and complete the full course.
  • Managing a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) caused by medication usage requires a multi-step approach. Here are some steps to help manage the condition:
  • Inform your doctor about your low platelet count and medication usage. They will assess the situation and guide the best course of action.
  • Your doctor may recommend adjusting or stopping the medication that is causing a low platelet count. This could involve switching to alternative medication or reducing the dosage.
  • Monitor your platelet count regularly through blood tests to track any changes. This will help the doctor determine the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
  • If an underlying condition, such as infection or inflammation, contributes to the low platelet count, your doctor will treat it.
  • In some cases, alternative treatments like platelet transfusions or medications that stimulate platelet production may be necessary.
  • Avoid risky activities and certain medications; eat a balanced diet with plenty of water to reduce bleeding risk and boost overall health.
  • If you experience severe bleeding or bruising, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
  • Avoid taking raw fruits, nuts and vegetables.
  • Do not share your personal things with others like toothbrushes.
  • Clean the wounds and cuts using soap and water.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently and maintain hygiene.
  • Get a good quality of sleep.
  • Include lean proteins like skinless poultry and fish.
  • Choose whole grains and low-fat dairy products.
  • Limit intake of fat and oil.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
  • Restrict heavy sugar intake.
  • Avoid red meat, processed foods, and refined sugar.
  • Eat more fruits and vegetables.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
  • Avoid rubbing your eyes, which can exacerbate the issue.
  • Lubricate your eyes using artificial tears or eye drops.
  • Wear sunglasses while you are out in the sun to protect your eyes from sun and wind.
  • Avoid irritants like smoke, dust, and strong chemicals.
  • Get enough rest and sleep to help your eyes recover.
  • Using a cold compress may help relieve itching and inflammation associated with conjunctivitis.
  • A warm compress and washing the eyes with water can help with crusting on the eyelids.
  • Avoid wearing contact lens until you feel better; use spectacles instead.
  • Do not rub the eyes.
  • Practise good hand hygiene and avoid touching the eyes to prevent the spread of infection.
