It has been found to induce transient dysarthria during infusion which has prompted premature cessation. We encountered 3 patients on FOLFIRINOX who experienced dysarthrialike symptoms during irinotecan infusion. Through a literature review and prospective observational study done at our tertiary care facility, we devised a pre-medication regimen which included extending the irinotecan infusion to 3 hours, replacement of all electrolytes to the upper limits of normal and the addition of atropine during infusion. These steps were to be taken in addition to the standard pre-medications to prevent known side effects of nausea, diarrhea and cholinergic syndrome. During subsequent irinotecan infusion sessions for our 3 patients, we exposed them to our proposed pre-medication regimen which resulted in toleration of therapy and dysarthria-free or significant attenuation of symptoms. The purpose of this case series is to promote further awareness of this unusual reaction as well as to propose a standard pre-medication regimen with all subsequent irinotecan administrations in the event a patient develops dysarthria on initial therapy.","PeriodicalId":427578,"journal":{"name":"Mathews Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115446268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
