Can I take dabrafenib if I have a cough?

If patients develop cough symptoms, they should inform their doctor immediately. Coughing can be caused by a variety of reasons, including infection, allergic reactions, and more. The doctor will evaluate the patient's condition and the cause of the cough to determine whether dabrafenib can be continued. Typically, a mild cough may not be a reason to discontinue dabrafenib treatment, but if the cough is severe or prolonged, further evaluation may be needed. Your doctor may recommend ways to relieve cough symptoms, such as drinking fluids, using throat lozenges, or cough medicines. However, before using cough suppressants, patients should seek the advice of their doctor to ensure the safety and suitability of the medication. In short, patients should promptly inform their doctors when cough symptoms occur and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.
