Product introduction

Acabrunat Capsule is taken orally, preferably with food or between meals. It should be used in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. It is advised to take this medicine at a fixed time and for as long as the doctor prescribes to avoid missing a dose. It may take several weeks or months for you to see or feel the benefits.

The most common side effects of Acabrunat Capsule include anemia, neutropenia, upper respiratory tract infection, thrombocytopenia, headache, diarrhea, and musculoskeletal pain. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know as they might suggest ways of reducing or preventing these side effects.

Inform your doctor if you have a medical history of bleeding disorders, heart or liver disease, radiation treatment, or any infection. The risk of bleeding may increase if the patient is taking a blood thinner medicine along with Acabrunat Capsule. Many other medicines can affect or be affected by this medicine, so let your doctor know of all the medications you are using. Inform the doctor immediately if unusual bruising or bleeding or dark, tarry, or bloody stools and sore throat are noticed.

Regular blood tests are required to check the blood cell count along with the kidneys, liver, and heart functions during the treatment with this medicine. The use of effective contraception by both males and females during the treatment is important to avoid pregnancy.

Frequently asked questions

Nausea and fatigue or tiredness are some of the common side effects of Acabrunat Capsule. Eat smaller, more frequent meals to reduce the feeling of nausea. Avoid salty, spicy, fried, or fatty food items. Take plenty of rest and do light exercise daily to keep yourself active and reduce fatigue.
Food items with soluble fiber can help relieve diarrhea as they help absorb excess fluid from the body. These food items include bananas (ripe), oranges, boiled potatoes, white rice, curd, and oatmeal. Diarrhea can cause dehydration in the body, so drink 8-10 glasses of water to avoid dehydration. You can also have soup and juice frequently to hydrate yourself.
You can continue with your normal diet unless your doctor tells you otherwise. However, it is advisable to sip water regularly to prevent dehydration, eat small, simple but nourishing snacks every few hours rather than large meals, and suck on hard candy or popsicles to prevent nausea and vomiting.
Use a moisturizer to get relief from rashes and dry and itchy skin. Avoid direct sunlight, wear protective clothing, and use sunscreen (SPF of more than 15) whenever you step outdoors. Do not go swimming if you have a rash because the chlorine in the water can make it worse. Avoid hot water baths and wear loose and cotton fabric clothes. Your skin will tend to become better once treatment is stopped.
You may experience bleeding from gums due to a drop in the number of platelets (blood cells) in your blood. These blood cells help the blood clot when we bruise ourselves.
Various things can help you to reduce tiredness and cope with it, for example, gentle exercise. However, always consult your doctor before doing any kind of exercise. Q. Can Acabrunat Capsule be taken with obinutuzumab?
Your doctor will prescribe blood tests to check your levels of blood cells and how well your liver and kidneys are working.
