The blood count nadir typically occurs at <strong>week 4&ndash;6<\/strong> after a dose, with slow recovery thereafter. Dosing more frequently than every 6 weeks stacks the marrow toxicity and risks severe pancytopenia. The 6-week interval is rigid &mdash; even if you feel well, do not dose-advance without specialist instruction.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is there a cumulative dose limit?<\/h3>\n<p>Cumulative pulmonary fibrosis and persistent thrombocytopenia become limiting at total exposure above ~1,000 mg\/m&sup2; (lifetime). Specialists track cumulative dose and stop or extend the interval as the limit is approached. Tell every doctor about every previous chemotherapy course.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Lomoother with food?<\/h3>\n<p>No &mdash; take on an empty stomach (no food for 2 hours before or 2 hours after). Most patients take the dose at bedtime &ge; 2 hours after dinner. Pre-medicate with ondansetron 8 mg about 1 hour before to prevent the significant nausea and vomiting characteristic of nitrosoureas.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hvilke blodpr\u00f8ver trenger jeg?<\/h3>\n<p>FBC at baseline, weekly between cycles, and on day 42 before each next dose. LFTs and renal function monthly. PFTs (with DLCO) at baseline and any time you develop new dyspnoea or persistent dry cough.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Lomoother work for my brain tumour?<\/h3>\n<p>Lomustine has a long history in primary brain tumours. In recurrent glioblastoma after temozolomide failure, lomustine produces modest disease-control benefit in some patients. In oligodendroglioma, the PCV regimen (procarbazine + lomustine + vincristine) has documented overall survival benefit when combined with radiotherapy in 1p\/19q co-deleted disease. Discuss expected benefit specific to your tumour with the neuro-oncologist.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why must Lomoother be refrigerated?<\/h3>\n<p>Lomustine is heat-sensitive and degrades at room temperature, especially in warmer climates. Refrigeration (2&ndash;8&deg;C) preserves potency. Keep in original blister.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caregivers handling Lomoother?<\/h3>\n<p>Wear gloves when handling capsules and patient body fluids in the first 48 hours after a dose. Wash hands afterwards. Pregnant caregivers should avoid handling.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kan jeg f\u00e5 levende vaksiner?<\/h3>\n<p>No &mdash; contraindicated during lomustine and for at least 6 months after the last dose. Inactivated vaccines safe and recommended.<\/p>\n<p><!-- medsbase-why-order --><\/p>\n<h3>Hvorfor bestille fra MedsBase<\/h3>\n<p>Hver batch er hentet fra en <strong>WHO-GMP-sertifisert produsent<\/strong>.
