Letter to Dr. about side effects of Sorafinib Feb 26, 2007
Dr Horvath,
I am on the Sorafenib 400 mg twice daily for Leiomysosarcoma. I have been on the drug since 2/14/2007. The first week I was able to tolerate.
Beginning on Saturday 2/24 I developed a rash. I covers most of my body.I have included pictures of my arm. This rash is hot and somewhat itchy. I have attached pictures so that you can see the extent of this.
Could you advise me on what to do with this.
RESPONSE
Hi!
Looks like a typical drug rash. If you are not too itchy, we can proceed on for now. If you are very uncomfortable with itching or pain, then we have to hold the drug. Let me know how your symptoms are now and later. I will send this on to Candace also.
Take care!
