Fatigue is one of the most common adverse reactions to Sotorasib. Patients may experience physical exhaustion, and weakness, impacting their daily lives and work.
Sotorasib may exert a certain toxic effect on the liver, leading to abnormal liver function. Patients using Sotorasib need to undergo regular liver function tests to ensure liver health.
Some patients may experience cough symptoms after taking Sotorasib. This may result from the drug's stimulating effect on the respiratory tract.
[Warm tips] When using Sotorasib, patients should follow medical advice, take the medication on time and as prescribed, and should not adjust the dosage or stop the medication independently. During the course of treatment, patients should pay close attention to their condition and seek medical attention promptly if they experience any discomfort or unusual reactions.
