Quote:Clinical experience has shown that the gastrointestinal adverse effects of FAE therapy may be controlled with aluminium hydroxide, metoclopramide or ranitidine. There is also some evidence that concomitant pentoxifylline therapy may reduce the incidence and severity of gastrointestinal complaints and flushing in patients receiving FAE therapy. FAE dose reduction may also be used to manage symptoms; however, discontinuation should be considered in persistent cases. Gastrointestinal adverse events and flushing together lead to discontinuation of FAE therapy in approximately 7% of patients. Overall, the rate of discontinuation due to adverse events and/or noncompliance with treatment is 30-40%.Source Medscape
