Hello Doctor, My Grandfather aged 82 has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. The patient is very week and the doctor ruled out the surgery. Now doctors have started him with Capiibine 500 mg tablet (4 tablets in 24 hours). He is not able to eat much due to nausea and vomiting and also feels very week. After consulting with doctors they have given him Megeetron 40 mg tablet and Ondem MD 8 mg tablets.
