Medical Description
Calquence 100mg Capsule is used in the treatment of blood cancer and is prescribed to patients over 18 years old who have received at least one prior treatment. It contains the active medicine acalabrutinib. Calquence 100mg Capsule is taken orally, preferably with food or between meals, and should be used as directed by your doctor regarding dose and duration. It is recommended to take this medicine consistently and for as long as prescribed to avoid missing doses.
Common side effects include anemia, neutropenia, upper respiratory tract infections, thrombocytopenia, headache, diarrhea, and musculoskeletal pain. If these symptoms are bothersome or severe, inform your doctor, as they may suggest ways to reduce or manage them.
Notify your doctor about any medical history of bleeding disorders, heart or liver disease, radiation treatment, or infections. The risk of bleeding may increase if the patient is taking blood thinner medications alongside Calquence 100mg Capsule. Many other medications can influence or be influenced by this medicine, so inform your doctor about all the medications you are currently taking.
Contact your doctor immediately if you notice unusual bruising, bleeding, dark tarry stools, or a sore throat. This medicine reduces the number of blood cells in your bloodstream, increasing susceptibility to infections. Regular blood tests are necessary to monitor blood cell counts along with kidney, liver, and heart functions during treatment. Effective contraception for both males and females is essential during treatment to prevent pregnancy.
