Cabazitaxel Alcohol, Cabazitaxel alcohol Interaction, What is cabazitaxel

Cabazitaxel Alcohol speaks to Cabazitaxel alcohol interaction, what is Cabazitaxel and Cabazitaxel side effects.

Cabazitaxel belongs to the family of cancer medications that interfere with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. It is used in combination with prednisone to treat prostate cancer that has spread (metasticized) to other parts of the body and is usually used after other cancer treatments have proven ineffective.

Do not use if you are pregnant as it may hurt the unborn baby.

It is suggested that you do not drink alcohol not even moderate drinking or use a herbal supplement that contains St John’s wort as side effects may be greatly increased.

At this time the medical community defines moderate consumption of alcohol as no more than two drinks per day and no more than 14 drinks per week. Anything more than that is considered an unhealthy dependency on alcohol that may have adverse social, family and health consequences.

If a person drinks only once or twice a week but drinks on the same days each week and more than two drinks this is considered as an alcohol dependency.

If a person binge drinks at any time during the week this is also considered as alcoholism.

Some consider alcoholism as a disease while others consider it an addiction which is the result of personal choice and character fault. This school of thought blames the alcoholism on life style choices.

Personally I consider alcoholism a genetic tendency as I have seen families of alcoholics even when they live far apart. These unfortunate people are probably dependent on alcohol from the first drink.

When alcohol interacts with prescription over the counter drugs it usually results in negative health effects most especially liver damage as the main organ affected.

It is suggested that before taking this or any other drug you have a frank and honest discussion with your physician as to your drinking habits. This may be difficult as many alcoholics are in a state of denial as to their drinking habits.

I have also noticed that many alcoholics are not subject to the morning after illness that most of us suffer through when we drink too much. Severe alcoholics usually find if they feel “shakey” in the morning, a drink will make them feel more normal.

Before using this drug advise your physician if you are pregnant, plan to be so, are breastfeeding, allergic to any other drug or substance, have liver disease, low white blood cell counts or an allergy to any medicine that contains polysorbate 80.
