Can I take oral ixazomib when I have a fever?

Ixazomib is a drug used to treat multiple myeloma, often in combination with other drugs. Although ixazomib is a proteasome inhibitor, there is currently no evidence that it causes serious side effects when taken orally. Theoretically, fever should not affect the efficacy of ixazomib. Therefore, patients can continue to take ixazomib according to the doctor's instructions during the cold period.

However, cold symptoms such as fever, headache, cough, runny nose, etc. may affect the patient's physical condition and immune system. The situation may be different for each person, and treatment options will need to be determined based on your doctor's advice. While taking ixazomib, if the cold symptoms are severe or last for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time and inform the doctor that you are taking ixazomib. Your doctor can assess on a case-by-case basis whether you need to adjust your treatment plan or take other steps to relieve symptoms. In short, patients need to pay attention to their physical condition while taking ixazomib, and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment and monitoring.

The original drug of Ixazomib has been launched in China and is included in Class B medical insurance. The price of common capsule preparations may be more than 10,000 yuan per box, which is relatively expensive. The price of the original drug of ixazomib sold overseas is more than 10,000 US dollars per box (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate). Ixazomib Generic drugs are also produced and sold overseas, and their drug ingredients are basically the same as those of the original drugs sold domestically and abroad. For example, the price of 4mg*3 tablets produced by a Laos pharmaceutical factory may be less than 1,000 yuan per box (the price may fluctuate due to the exchange rate), and the price is relatively cheap.
