Pomalyst and appetite

by rcman on Mon Aug 31, 2015 8:40 pm

Is anyone having problems with their appetite while on Pomalyst?

Sometimes I can eat a lot, and then other times I feel I have to make myself eat. I've been drinking Boost, the high calorie vanilla, and mix it with the high protein chocolate in order to help gain some weight.

You should take the time to read the monograph of any multiple myeloma drug you take:

Just search on "appetite" in the doc. Loss of appetite is listed as "very common" with pomalyst.
