Cancer, Radiotherapy Done, Blood Flowing From Passage Of Latrine, APC Done, Prescribed Gynaec CVP. Side Effects?

I am 78 years old and was suffering from cancer 10 years back. I got radiotherapy done and recently there was blood flowing from the passage of latrine. On the advice of a doctor, I got APC done. Even after a week of APC there has been bleeding. Thus the doctor has suggested 1 tab of Gynaec CVP after every meal. Could you please suggest what could be the side effects of taking this tablet?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
10 years back you were a patient of cancer ,but which organ?
You took treatment for cancer as radiotherapy but 10 year back .
Now there is bleeding per rectum .
APC done ( argon plasma coagulation) , no response in bleeding .
Now put on Gynae C V P capsule ( tab) one /day.
As far as known to me this is menadione and uses in prophypalxis & treatment of bleeding due to clotting factor .
If you have bleeding due to abnormality in clotting factor than you will get relief .
As far as concerned about side effect it causes ( help ) in clotting, if any person who have high cholesterol , this is not good .
So be aware about that .
Good luck. Dr. HET
