Temozolomide should be taken on an empty stomach (at least one hour before eating) to maximize absorption. Antiemetics can be used before and after taking the medicine to prevent adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting. If you experience vomiting after taking this dose, you should not take a second dose that day.

Capsules should not be opened or chewed and should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. If the capsule is damaged, direct skin or mucous membrane contact with the contents should be avoided.

Temozolomide should be stored at 2°C to 25°C and kept out of the reach of children. The validity period of medicines is 36 months. Expired medicines should be disposed of in time and cannot be used anymore.
