Overview Tecentriq Injection

Atezolizumab, administered intravenously, is a monoclonal antibody indicated for various cancers including non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), and melanoma. Intravenous administration is strictly under medical supervision, with dosage and frequency determined by your physician based on your specific condition and potentially adjusted over time. Adhere precisely to your doctor's instructions; incorrect usage or overdose can lead to severe adverse reactions. Therapeutic benefits may take weeks or months to manifest; do not discontinue treatment without your doctor's consent. Common side effects include tiredness, nausea, reduced appetite, constipation, cough, and breathlessness. Serious side effects like chest pain, diarrhea, or dark urine necessitate immediate medical attention. Report any concerning side effects to your doctor; management strategies may be available. Prior to treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing heart, liver, or kidney conditions, and all other medications, including anti-infectives, as interactions are possible. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding; reliable contraception is crucial for both partners. A patient support program is accessible in India through Tata 1mg; inquire with your physician or call (1800-102-1618) for further information.

Soothe rashes and dry, itchy skin with a moisturizer. Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing protective clothing and sunscreen (SPF 15+) outdoors. Avoid swimming while experiencing a rash, as chlorine can aggravate it. Take lukewarm showers and wear loose-fitting cotton clothing. Skin improvement is expected after treatment concludes.
For constipation relief, eat plenty of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, drink 8–10 glasses of water daily, and stay physically active. A doctor-prescribed stool softener, taken once or twice a day, can help prevent constipation. Consult your doctor if you haven't had a bowel movement in 2–3 days.

Changes in taste are common during cancer treatment; you might notice a metallic taste, a loss of taste, or a dislike for previously enjoyed foods and drinks. To help, rinse your mouth with a salt and bicarbonate of soda solution before meals, and consider adding extra flavor or seasonings to your food.
To support your treatment, please avoid caffeine (it can dehydrate you), fatty, fried, spicy, or sugary foods (which may cause nausea), alcohol, and smoking. Minimize exposure to crowds, individuals with colds, and direct sunlight (to prevent infection and skin irritation). Do not receive immunizations without your doctor's approval. Exercise caution with sharp objects and avoid contact sports to reduce the risk of cuts, bruises, and injuries.
