Is It Safe To Take Generic Votrient For Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma?

I have been diganosed with Duffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, can generic name Votrient be used to treat this problem? I had a bleeding peptic ulcer and there is still some oozing blood, plus I have H.Pylori infection and am taking strong antibiotics for that.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Votrient is not the drug for diffuse large cell lymphoma. The treatment consists of an antibody, rituximab plus chemotherapy. Please discuss this with your hematologist or oncologist.
Hope this helps,
Regards
