Daraxonrasib

Posted by valerina30 @valerina30, 1 day ago

Hi, Started taking the new pill 5 days ago. Now I know side effect is diarrhea but it only happens after I eat even with creon. Does anyone else go thru this? This is just about every meal. Thxs

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

Because it's happening after almost every meal, I would tell the oncology team now rather than waiting for the next appointment. They may recommend an antidiarrheal medication and can also review whether the Creon dose and timing are adequate. Don't change the RASONQUE dose yourself; if diarrhea becomes significant, the prescribing information provides for temporary interruption or dose reduction.

My wife has been on Rasonque (daraxonrasib) for about 6 weeks now. She has had a similar diarrhea side effect that you describe. The oncologist started out with imodium and then added lomotil (a strong prescription drug). She is supposed to take imodium as soon as the diarrhea hits, and the lomotil up to 4 times per day. She has also begun taking creon-type pills with every meal. The diarrhea is pretty uncontrollable when it hits, usually soon after eating. So far no solution has been found to stop it. A typical next step is to reduce the Rasonque from 300 to 200mg. Her oncologist is reluctant to take that step because her cancer markers are falling alot. (from 13,000 to 3,000. She will have her first post-Rasonque scan in early October. If diarrhea is still hitting hard at that date, I will push hard for the reduced dose.
