Ibrutinib and fever

Mayor44 profile image
2 Replies

I am on my 11th month of Ibrutinib. Have not had any side effects except for itchy skin, but suddenly started developing diarrhoea and fever just above 37 degrees. It makes my skin feel prickly and irritated. Paracetamol gets rid of it quickly but it keeps coming back. Anyone else with the same symptoms?

You should be discussing this with your doctor... please stay well hydrated, diarrhea can depleat fluids rapidly...

Fever.. where is it without the Paracetamol? It can mask a higher temperature, and give a kind of false positive...

See you doc, don't let this continue... there are treatments like loperamide etc.
