Before using ibrutinib, doctors will thoroughly evaluate the patient's condition to determine whether they are suitable for this drug.

When using ibrutinib, patients should pay attention to the following points:

1. Strictly follow the doctor’s instructions: Patients must use the medicine in accordance with the doctor’s instructions and the dosage and usage in the drug instructions. They are not allowed to adjust the dosage or stop the medicine on their own, so as not to affect the treatment effect or increase the risk of adverse reactions.
