How Supportive Medications Help You Get Through Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is not just physically tough — it’s emotionally draining. Fatigue, nausea, infections, and weakness make every day a challenge. But modern medicine offers supportive drugs that help patients stay strong throughout the treatment.

Why Side Effects Happen

Cytotoxic drugs destroy fast-growing cells — not only cancer but also blood, immune, and mucosal cells. That’s why support medications are essential.

Real Case: Maria, 59

“After my third cycle, I couldn’t even stand up. I was vomiting, exhausted. My oncologist prescribed immune boosters and anti-nausea meds. I felt better within 48 hours. That’s when I realized: supportive therapy is life-saving.”

Types of Supportive Medications

1. Anti-nausea

Ondansetron, Granisetron – block serotonin in the brain. Taken before chemo.

2. Immune Support

Filgrastim, Leukopoietins – increase white blood cells. Erythropoietins help fight anemia.

3. Liver and stomach protection

Ursodeoxycholic acid, Pantoprazole – reduce chemo-induced damage.

4. Vitamins and energy

B12, folic acid, L-carnitine – restore energy and metabolism.
