Drug-Related Causes
Severe diarrhea and GI distress can be side effects of many drug regimens — from antibiotics to chemotherapy to HIV/AIDS treatment. In many cases, these are the side effects that cause doctors to reduce or suspend treatment and, quite possibly, reduce the efficacy of the treatment regimen. It also results in many patients deciding to forgo further treatments. Salient is targeting these drug-related side effects in an effort to enhance therapy and quality of life. Within this area, Salient is first tackling Cancer Therapy-Induced Diarrhea, or CTID.
