Immunotherapy for Small Cell Lung Cancer

Possible Side Effects of Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy medications would cause certain side effects in many people. Common problems include nausea, cough, diarrhea, reduced appetite, constipation, joint pain, unexpected fatigue, as well as skin rashes. While it is not common, more serious side effects would happen. The bodies of some individuals would also respond negatively to intravenous injections of the medications. This would lead to symptoms that are similar to those of allergies, such as dizziness, itchy skin, skin rash, chills, fever, face flushing, difficulty breathing, as well as wheezing. Make sure to inform your healthcare provider as soon as you notice any problems after getting immunotherapy drugs. [7]
