📋Overview
Xermelo is a medication that helps manage symptoms related to certain types of neuroendocrine tumors, particularly those that cause carcinoid syndrome. It works by reducing the production of serotonin in the body, which can help control severe diarrhea associated with these tumors. Xermelo is typically used in cases where symptoms persist despite other treatments. Its use is most commonly linked to rare cancers that affect hormone-producing cells.
