Ten years ago, the patient had a partial (half) paralysis and is recovering. The patient takes Eptoin 300 ER, Atorva 20, Pantop, Clopivas AP 75 and folic acid. Now diagnosed with oral cancer and advised chemotherapy. Should the patient continue the neurological medicines during chemotherapy?
Indeed, during chemotherapy, neurological and heart-stroke medications such as Eptoin and Clopivas should typically be continued. However, dosages may need to be adjusted because Eptoin can interact with certain chemotherapy medications. To guarantee safety, the neurologist and oncologist must work together before beginning chemotherapy.
