Side Effects Of Nexavar

Hi

I too have the hand and foot side affects, it is so painful. I have not come up with a good help as of yet. I have gone through this about 3 times. Just nice to hear from someone else, who knows what this is.

Has your Husbands Doctor, said if he will continue to take this or will there be a week off after so many on?

Usually the painful part of this side affect only lasts less than a week.

For mouth sores the best remedy would be Salt/Soda water which consists of 1 liter of water with 1 tbs baking soda and 1/2 tbs. salt.  Swish and spit out, do at least twice daily.  For the hand and feet sores the pharmacy in which my husband gets his Nexavar is through the actual drug company and they have said that the best cream for the sores is called "Gojo Hand Medic" and is actually something car mechanics use routinely since they are in contact with harsh chemicals.  

Take care, Aimee

the doctor said if the symptoms worsen, my husband should reduce the dosage. But until now my husband is sticking on with the 800mg daily. Have you reduced the dosage?

Hi

I went to Doctor today I am on a reduced med plan, my body needs a break but I do not want to go off because of going through all side affects again, which seem to go away after you're on meds for a while.

my husband has also reduced the dose, he could not bear the pains, he has been on nexavar for 2 weeks.

he also has  ulcers in his mouth, now he could only have liquid.

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my boyfriends exp. w/ nexavar.  He had the hand & foot, body rash and mouth sores.  We used udderly smooth (found it at CVS) for the hands and feet it helped with the burning, but after he stopped the meds. it took about a month and a half for all of the skin to stop peeling off of the bottoms of his feet.  He used "magic mouthwash" for the mouth sores.  His onc. prescribed it for him.  Hope this helps.

Stay Strong,

Cindy
