Balversa, a new targeted anti-cancer drug, provides new treatment hope for patients with advanced cancer by precisely inhibiting the FGFR signaling pathway.
The price of Balversa varies by version and source, but here are two points on how much it costs:
As a new targeted anti-cancer drug, the original drug version of Balversa is usually more expensive. For example, the price of the original drug produced by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical in the United States may vary due to factors such as specifications, market supply, and demand, and policies, but on the whole, it may pose a certain economic burden for many patients.
In order to reduce the cost of treatment for patients, many countries have launched generic versions of Balversa, such as generic drugs produced in India, Laos, and other places. The price of these generic drugs is much lower than that of the original drugs, such as the Lao version of Balversa (40mg*28 capsules) is about 1,000 yuan. These are more affordable, providing patients with more treatment options.
The price of Balversa varies by version and channel and depends on market conditions. Next, we will discuss in detail the side effects of Balversa and what to do to deal with it.
As an anti-cancer drug, the side effects of Balversa mainly include:
Balversa can cause an increase in potassium levels in the blood and, in severe cases, heart problems. Serum potassium levels should be monitored regularly during treatment and intervened if necessary.
Some patients may present with gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These reactions are usually mild, but if symptoms persist or worsen, your doctor should be informed so that treatment can be adjusted.
While Balversa is effective, it can also be accompanied by side effects, among which digestive reactions are more common. In order to alleviate this discomfort, we will explain the measures below.
The side effects of digestive reactions that may be caused by Balversa, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., can be treated with the following measures:
Patients are advised to eat multiple meals and avoid excessive food intake at one time to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, choose light and easy-to-digest foods and avoid greasy, spicy, and other irritating foods to reduce irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
For patients with severe symptoms of nausea and vomiting, anti-nausea drugs, such as metoclopramide, can be used for intervention under the guidance of a doctor to relieve symptoms. For diarrhea symptoms, patients should keep their abdomen warm to avoid cold and can be treated with antidiarrheal medications.
【Warm tips】When patients buy generic drugs, they should choose formal channels to ensure the quality and safety of the drugs. Avoid purchasing counterfeit products from informal sources.
