I'm Currently On The Chemotherapy Pills, Brukinsa (2per Day) And Also Venclexta (2per Day) . Is Anyone Else Having Side Effects From These P
Something that has a GOOD change is "effect." Something that has a BAD change is "affect?" I take Brukinsa and I have no ill affects. My WBC count is 8000 which is very effective. I just learned from CURE magazine that 10% those who take Brukinsa may have high blood pressure as a bad affect? Brukinsa also had less concerns (ill affects or failure to control WBC) then other BTK Inhibitor medications. The article also listed that after 3 to 5 years the controlling effecting of the BTK Inhibitor may fail for a percentage of those taking the medication. I do not think our medical people would share this "new" information since it was just published in CURE 9/24.
Both Brukinsa and Venclexta can have side effects. Here are the common and serious side effects for each:
Brukinsa (Zanubrutinib):
- Common Side Effects:
- Decreased white blood cells
- Decreased platelet count
- Decreased red blood cells (anemia)
- Muscle and bone pain
- Upper respiratory infection
