Allergies with Ibrance and Letrezol

[Alnmouth]

has anyone who is on Ibrance and letrezol experienced a permanent runny nose and watery itchy eyes? I have tried Claritin, zyrtec, and allegra with no improvement with any of them. Doctor even gave me a steroidal nasal spray, no help either. I am at my wits end. Help!!!

Alnmouth,

My nose has been on the runny side too, and I knew that I was not sick. I rarely have allergies also. Maybe it was the Ibrance!?

Best,

Colleen

Hi. I am on my second cycle of Ibrance with Letrezole and just last week started to experience the (almost) constant runny nose and itchy eyes. Other than Hycosan Extra eye drops, I have not taken anything for these, just putting up with it as it's really the only side effect I have experienced. Hoping it will go away on my "off" week that's coming up.

Yes, I have watery, itchy eyes and stuffy sinuses. I'm taking claritin and zyrtec, using Azelastine spray and saline spray. Annoying but tolerable.

I’ve been taking Ibrance and Letrozole for over 3 1/2 years now. I have been suffering with itchy runny eyes and runny nose since. I take Zyrtec and Benadryl and have tried every kind of eye drop and ointment with no success. Minor but annoying side effect I guess.

Wow! I didn’t know this was a side- effect of Ibrance. My nose runs constantly— and I just thought it was allergies. I am going to try the sinus “cleanser” Navage. It works by water cleansing sinuses. I’ll let you know how it works!.... or if the treatment being worse than the runny nose!

i have been on Ibrance and Anastrozole for 5.4 years. for me, Ibrance aggravates allergies, and i feel as if i have a cold, as well as persistent dry eyes. further, 1% of people taking Ibrance experience sinusitis; that's me. i prepare for each cycle: eye drops, dry eye moist heat compress, supplements, Traditional Chinese Medicine, XLEAR nasal spray, and western med, if needed.

Interesting. I have allergies and didn't realize that Ibrance aggravates them!

[hurricaneheather in reply to mariootsi]

what i learned about this body is the Ibrance interacts with the mucous membranes of the mouth, lips, nose, eyes, and lungs, thus the allergy symptoms. the more water i drink, the less aggravation of the mucous membranes.

I have runny, itchy eyes and a runny nose since being on Ibrance. So annoying. I use eyedrops and blow my nose all day. Nasal spray doesn't work.

Good to know! Just this week, the itching and running eyes got so bad I began to think what I can do about it. Nose runs, too, and slight sore throat. Was wondering what I could be allergic to in the winter. So another side effect. I thought it might partly be the dry eye that my opthalmologist says all of her patients have (I am skeptical that we all do). As I understand it, dry eye can lead to runny eyes. This is helpful to know. If you are trying something, let us know how it works.

I am trying Non Drowsy Claritin 10mg & 240 mg pseudoephedrine . It has been the best for me so far . My pharmacist has told me a prescription equivalent would be Cetrizine 20mg .
