Question 1

how long does a person have to take votrient (pazopanib) ?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: This is a chemotherapy medication, used to fight several forms of cancer, such as lung, kidney, and ovarian. Its use should be closely managed by an oncologist.

Question 2

1 does of votrient (pazopanib) made me very sick to my stomach. now what?

Accepted Answer

Don't take it...?: If you are convinced a particular supplement or drug is not tolerated, then it is best to speak with the provider who recommended it.  This way, you can understand how critical or elective its use may be, and what alternatives may be available.

Question 3

does votrient (pazopanib) for kidney cancer sometimes get rid of the cancer or is it just to treat symptomsk?

Accepted Answer

Good question: We dont know yet with votrient (pazopanib). At least for now- it is supposed to control the disease and to relieve the symptoms. However, recently,  a study on sunitinib just published a few weeks ago -showed that some patients are able to achieve a complete remission with sunitinib. That is very encouraging. I hope and i expect the same result with votrient (pazopanib)- although as i said we don't have the data yet.

Question 4

is there any way to counteract the effects of drowsiness from using pazopanib for treating stage iv kidney cancer?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Perhaps meds like provigil, or its cousin,  nuvigil. Ritalin (methylphenidate) and adderal might help, too.

Question 5

my wife has 4th stage kidney cancer she is very weak weight 96 lbs. chemo did not work she started chemo pills  votrient (pazopanib). should surgery be consider?

Accepted Answer

Very sorry: I am very sorry to hear that about your wife. Usually when cancer is at 4th stage it cannot be surgically removed because it has spread. Sometimes surgery is an option to help alleviate pain or obstruction. Talk to your oncologist about this. God bless you both.

Question 6

i need a refill on my medication?

Accepted Answer

So call your doc: This is the HT public information site.We are thousands of volunteer docs based primarily in the US who answer medical questions.We do not offer treatments. State medical boards require a physician/patient relationship,a retrievable record,recent exam with vital signs for prescribing.Failure to do so can lead to loss or restriction of license. It may seem minor to you but it is not.

Question 7

Question 8

should i be on medication for a gfr of 38?

Accepted Answer

Nephrologist: You ought consult a kidney specialist to ascertain the cause and adjust your diet. Other treatment, if any, would depend on the cause of your kidney disorder.

Question 9

do any doctors on here perscribe medication?

Accepted Answer

No: We can only prescribe to those who see us, and we know who they are, know their allergies and are covered by insurances and we know would be sage to do so. Our system had a telemedicine, wherein, our own patients can go on the insurance computer for us and we can give them their medicine but not for consultation as this, too risky for you and for us, medico legally.

Question 10

any advice on medication for chronic dry eyed?

Accepted Answer

OTC lubricants: Most dry eye can be handled with over the counter (otc) lubricating drops.  Do not use the ones that say "gets the red out" as these are drying.  Plain eye ointment at night is also helpful.  For persistent eye dryness especially if the vision is impaired, see your ophthalmologist.
