Is it okay to stop taking Bevacizumab for one month?

Avastin refers to bevacizumab injection. If a patient experiences severe adverse reactions after receiving bevacizumab injection and needs to temporarily discontinue treatment, the usual recommended停药 period is about one month. However, if the patient's condition is unstable or there are no clear indications for discontinuation, stopping the medication for a month is generally not recommended. If there are any concerns, it is advisable to seek medical consultation in advance. Detailed explanations are as follows:

If serious adverse reactions such as severe bleeding or gastrointestinal perforation occur during treatment, continuing the medication may increase the risks. In such cases, a one-month停药 period can allow the body to recover. After the adverse reactions subside, the doctor will evaluate whether to resume treatment, thereby reducing potential health risks.

For patients whose tumors are progressing or whose conditions are not yet controlled, discontinuing the medication for one month may interrupt the therapeutic effect, allowing tumor cells to proliferate and accelerate disease progression, thus affecting treatment outcomes. Arbitrarily discontinuing the medication without clear reasons may compromise treatment continuity and increase the difficulty of subsequent therapies.

Bevacizumab injection must be used strictly under medical supervision. Decisions regarding discontinuation or continuation of the medication should always be made by a physician. Do not make such decisions independently. If any discomfort occurs, communicate immediately with your attending physician.
