What to expect when starting XERMELO
Many patients saw significant improvement within 12 weeks1
Some patients may start to see results within three weeks1
In the 12-week study, patients reported improvement in their diarrhea symptoms, primarily a reduction in bowel movement frequency. However, you could see results as early as three weeks.1
Continue to take XERMELO even if your symptoms improve
It’s important to continue taking XERMELO three times a day, every day. If you stop taking it, your symptoms could return, because Carcinoid Syndrome Diarrhea is a chronic condition.2
Take XERMELO three times a day, every day, with food1
XERMELO is a convenient pill that may help reduce diarrhea and the number of daily bowel movements when you take it regularly as directed.1 Also, people who take XERMELO with their SSA treatment may need fewer rescue SSA injections.1,3
