Axitinib is an oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It is indicated for patients with a pathological diagnosis of advanced renal cell carcinoma who meet one of the following conditions: prior failure of TKI or cytokine therapy, or requiring first-line combination therapy for intermediate/high-risk unresectable or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
Ways to Purchase Axitinib
Purchase at Hospitals
Axitinib has been launched in the domestic market and is included in the medical insurance reimbursement scope. Patients can purchase it directly from the pharmacy of the hospital they visited, using a prescription issued by their doctor. The advantage of purchasing at the hospital is that the drug source is regular, the quality is absolutely guaranteed, and patients can directly benefit from the medical insurance reimbursement policy, reducing the financial burden.
Doctors can adjust the medication plan in real-time based on the patient's disease progression and physical condition. If patients have any questions about the medication during the purchase process, they can also consult the doctor promptly.
Purchase on Online Platforms
With the development of internet healthcare, patients can also purchase Axitinib through regular online medical platforms. When purchasing, patients need to prepare an electronic prescription issued by their doctor in advance, upload it to the platform for review, and complete the order once the review is approved.
The advantage of online purchasing is its convenience and efficiency. It saves time and effort by eliminating the need for patients to go to the hospital or pharmacy in person, making it especially suitable for patients with limited mobility or those living far from the hospital.
Daily Rehabilitation Care for Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma
Dietary Care
Balanced Nutritional Intake:
Patients should ensure a diverse diet with adequate protein, vitamins, and minerals. They can consume appropriate amounts of high-quality protein foods, such as lean meat, eggs, milk, and soy products, to enhance the body's resistance. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, broccoli, apples, and oranges, to supplement vitamins and dietary fiber.
Avoid Irritating Foods:
Strictly avoid spicy, greasy, raw or cold, and hard foods, as well as pickled, smoked, grilled, and fried foods. These types of food may irritate the gastrointestinal tract, aggravate physical discomfort, and may also increase the risk of tumor recurrence.
Control Food Intake and Eating Rhythm:
Patients should follow the principle of eating smaller meals more frequently and avoid overeating to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Chew slowly during meals to aid digestion and absorption. At the same time, control salt intake to avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys, especially for patients with concurrent hypertension, who should strictly adhere to a low-salt diet.
Daily Routine and Lifestyle Care
Ensure Adequate Sleep:
Patients should develop regular sleep habits, ensuring 7-8 hours of sleep per day and avoiding staying up late. Staying up late can affect the body's immunity and metabolism, which is not conducive to recovery. Before sleep, you can relax by soaking feet in warm water, listening to soothing music, etc., to improve sleep quality.
Moderate Exercise:
Engage in moderate exercise based on your physical condition, such as walking, Tai Chi, or jogging. Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation, enhance physical fitness, and improve mood. However, care should be taken not to exercise too intensely to avoid excessive fatigue. If symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or chest tightness occur during exercise, stop immediately. If symptoms do not relieve after resting, seek medical attention promptly.
Maintain Good Hygiene Habits:
Pay attention to personal hygiene. Wash hands frequently, bathe regularly, change clothes often, and keep skin clean and dry to avoid skin infections. At the same time, keep the living environment clean and tidy, open windows regularly for ventilation, and maintain indoor air circulation.
