The clinical implication of this effect is not known.
Some patients do feel tired during treatment.
Moderate exercise, frequent smaller meals, and regular sleep can help relieve fatigue. If you vomit before taking the medication because you are nervous about therapy, your doctor may be able to prescribe antinausea medications for you to take before therapy begins. By eating smaller meals more frequently and getting enough fiber in your diet, you should be able to reduce discomfort from this problem. If necessary, your doctor may recommend a laxative. Female patients should avoid becoming pregnant while receiving this drug.
