High risk for cancer patients taking multiple medications

Source: Science Daily


Cancer patients are usually administered a number of medications not only for treating cancer but also for other secondary illnesses. But researchers have found out that the interactions between the various drugs could prove disastrous for the patient and in some cases may lead to death as well.

The research was actually a survey conducted by Dr.Riechelmann of the Princess Margaret Hospital. He analysed the reports of the various drugs submitted by a number of cancer patients. He then made an analysis of the various potential drug interactions and concluded that the patients underwent atleast one type of drug interaction.

It was also found that the combination of drugs even affected the anti-cancer drugs in some cases. Hence the researchers say that it is necessary to monitor the cancer patients regularly for potential drug interactions and alter the doses or change the medications altogether.
