• Avoid infections: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, avoid crowds, and stay away from people who are sick, as this medicine temporarily lowers your body's ability to fight germs.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and clear fluids daily to help your kidneys process and clear the medication from your system safely.
• Eat soft, bland foods: To manage nausea and prevent painful mouth sores, choose gentle, non-acidic, and non-spicy foods, and eat smaller, more frequent meals.
• Maintain good mouth care: Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, keep your mouth clean, and rinse regularly with your doctor's recommended alcohol-free or salt-and-baking soda mouth rinse to help reduce the risk of mouth sores and infection. If painful mouth ulcers develop, inform your healthcare team promptly.
• Use a soft toothbrush: This helps protect your gums from bleeding, which is especially important when your platelet counts are low.

• Watch the injection site: Tell your nurse immediately if you feel any burning, stinging, coldness, or pain around the needle during your infusion, as the medicine can damage surrounding tissue if it leaks.
• Avoid live vaccines: Do not receive any live vaccines (such as the shingles, measles, or mumps vaccine) while using Etopxel 100 Injection 5 ml, as your weakened immune system could lead to a serious infection.
• Use effective birth control: Both men and women should use highly reliable birth control during treatment and for several months after the last dose to prevent pregnancy, as this medicine can cause severe birth defects.
• Monitor your blood pressure: Alert your healthcare provider if you feel lightheaded, dizzy, or warm during the injection, as the infusion rate may need to be slowed down.
• Keep all blood test appointments: You will need regular blood tests before each treatment cycle to monitor your liver, kidneys, and blood cell counts.
