    Fatema: I just started on Xeloda. They did tell me that a cough is a side effect. If the cough is really bad I would be pushing for clearer answers.

    Fatema…you can always contact the company, but I can tell you that it could be one of Xeloda’s side effect, rarely occurring nevetheless it can be a side effect. The scan did not reveal anything suspicious – correct?
    Try to get in touch with Roche. They have product information support – you are a physician – it should be easy to speak with someone (based on your profession.)

    Hi Marion,

    fatema….does your Mom’s cough produce mucus? Caughing is one of the lesser occurring side effects of Xeloda. It can be triggered by an allergic reaction to the drug – it has only been reported a few times on this site.

    Hi,
    My mom is still suffering from persistent dry cough since about 3 weeks, she had CT chest which showed nothing. I’m really relived when i knew that htere is no lung metastasis but i’m worried about its cause, it doesn’t look like cough of infection when i asked her oncologist he said it may be allergy or due to xeloda!!! do you have any ideas, suggestions??
