Introduction To Ibset Tablet

Ibset Tablet is a medicine used to control nausea and vomiting due to certain medical conditions. It is also used to prevent nausea and vomiting post- surgery, and in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Additionally, it is used to treat diarrhea in adult patients.

Ibset Tablet will not relieve other side effects associated with cancer treatments. It is administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional only. Remember, you should not stop taking the medication suddenly without talking to your doctor. It is important that you keep having the injections until your doctor decides it to be safe to stop them. After this, your doctor may prescribe tablets instead of the injections.

The most common side effects of taking this medicine include injection site pain, headache and constipation. These symptoms should disappear when you stop taking the medicine. However, if these side effects bother you or do not go away, your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing them.

Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have heart or liver problems or a blockage in your stomach or intestines. Also, tell your doctor about any other medicine you are using, especially medicines to treat epilepsy, heart problems, cancer and depression. These may affect, or be affected by, this medicine. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask advice from your healthcare team.
