Runny eyes and nose

I'm taking letrozole and abamaciclib for breast cancer. I've found ways of coping with most of the side effects except a constantly runny nose and streaming eyes. These only started after an infusion of zoletronic acid. Has this happened to anyone else? Has anyone any advice to ease it? I'm blowing my nose every 10 minutes ( I timed it) and getting through boxes and boxes of tissues. My eyes feel like I've been crying none stop.

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about he side effects you are experiencing, this must be very irritating for you.

    As you can see on the webpage about zoledronic acid that both the eyes and nose can be affected by this drug. It is best to mention this to your specialist team so they are aware of how this is affecting you so they can also help best manage it moving forward. They hopefully can advise or prescribe some eye drops and other medications that may help reduce any inflammation and swelling causing these symptoms.

    I hope things improve for you soon.

    Best wishes
