Side effects of Kiviza 2Gm Inj
Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
  • Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
  • Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
  • Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
Managing Medication-Triggered Thrombophlebitis (Inflammation of a vein): A Step-by-Step Guide:
  • If you have symptoms such as pain, swelling, redness, or warmth in your veins after taking medication, contact your doctor right once. Share information about your symptoms, medication regimen, and medical history.
  • Your doctor will then assess your medication regimen to determine if it's contributing to the thrombophlebitis. This assessment will help identify the best course of action to manage your condition and prevent further complications.
  • Your doctor may suggest certain diet and lifestyle changes to help manage your condition. This may include increasing your intake of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, staying hydrated, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Your doctor may also advise medications to reduce inflammation, prevent blood clots, or manage pain if necessary.
  • If your condition does not improve or persists, consult your doctor and report your condition. Your doctor will assess your progress, adjust your treatment plan if necessary, and provide appropriate advice to ensure the best possible outcome.
  • Skin rash caused by allergies is due to irritants or allergens. Therefore, avoid contact with such irritants.
  • Consult your doctor for proper medication and apply an anti-itch medication. Follow the schedule and use the medication whenever needed.
  • Protect your skin from extreme heat and try to apply wet compresses.
  • Soak in the cool bath, which gives a soothing impact to the affected area.
  • Chest pain may last for a while and needs immediate medical attention as it is a significant health issue to be attended to.
  • Take rest and refrain from doing physical activity for a while, and restart after a few days.
  • Try applying an ice pack to the strained area for at least 20 minutes thrice a day. Ice pack thus helps reduce inflammation.
  • Sit upright and maintain proper posture if there is persistent chest pain. • Use extra pillows to elevate your position and prop your chest up while sleeping.
  • Rest well; get enough sleep.
  • Wear comfortable layers of clothes and get to a warm place.
  • Drink warm fluids like coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
  • Warm up using a blanket or heating pad.
