It is used in the treatment of Non-Hodgkin’s Disease (a blood cancer that affects your lymph system) and multiple myeloma (a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells of the bone marrow) in combination with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF).

Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:

Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.

Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
