TerSera NurseSupport Doctor Discussion Guide

Is your current treatment enough?

When somatostatin analog (SSA) injections alone are not enough, ask your doctor if it's time for XERMELO

Even though you are being treated with SSA injections, you can still experience symptoms of carcinoid syndrome diarrhea (CSD). That's why your doctor may add XERMELO, a prescription pill, to your treatment plan. Use the discussion guide below to create a personalized doctor discussion guide.

Talk to your healthcare provider if you are: 

Taking antidiarrheals more often

Limiting activities outside of the home

Planning where to find bathrooms when you leave the house
