Cancer, radiotherapy done, blood flowing from passage of latrine, APC done, prescribed Gynaec CVP. Side effects?
Patient: I am 78 years old and was suffering from cancer 10 years back. I got radiotherapy done and recently there was blood flowing from the passage of latrine. On the advice of a doctor, I got APC done. Even after a week of APC  there has been bleeding. Thus the doctor has suggested 1 tab of Gynaec CVP after every meal. Could you please suggest what could be the side effects of taking this tablet? Doctor: Hello,  Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. 10 years back you were a patient of cancer ,but which organ? You took treatment for cancer as radiotherapy but 10 year back . Now there is bleeding per rectum . APC done ( argon plasma coagulation) , no response in bleeding . Now put on Gynae C V P capsule ( tab) one /day. As far as known to me this is menadione and uses in prophypalxis & treatment of bleeding due to clotting factor . If you have bleeding due to abnormality in clotting factor than you will get relief . As far as concerned about side effect it causes ( help ) in clotting, if any person who have high cholesterol , this is not good . So be aware about that . Good luck. Dr. HET
