Safety and Feasability of Muslim Fasting While Receiving Chemotherapy
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
More than 1.2 billion Muslim practice fasting from dawn to sun set through the whole month of Ramadan. Cancer patients who are on active chemotherapy therapy treatment are usually feeling impressed whether or not to keep fasting with no data to support the possible hazard or potential benefit, Here we report data about representative samples from our patients who had been followed during the fasting time and use them as referral control for themselves while receiving the chemotherapy without fasting. Subjective symptoms and objective laboratory results are reported. To our knowledge this is the first ever study in the field
