About BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION

  • BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION contains methotrexate as an active ingredient. Methotrexate belongs to the category of anti-metabolite and immunosuppressant drugs. It is primarily used in the treatment of various cancers, including acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), meningeal leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, osteosarcoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, breast cancer, and head and neck cancer in adult patients. In addition to its anti-cancer applications, it is prescribed for treating severe psoriasis in adults, a skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on different areas of the body. Furthermore, BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION is also indicated for managing rheumatoid arthritis in adults.
  • You should not use BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION if you have a known allergy to methotrexate or any other components present in the formulation. It is contraindicated if you have pre-existing kidney or liver problems, blood disorders, or a weakened immune system. This medication should not be administered during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Immediately inform your healthcare provider if you notice symptoms such as spitting or coughing up blood, general muscle weakness, vision disturbances, or changes in thinking, memory, or orientation. Please be aware that BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION may impair fertility; therefore, avoid getting pregnant during treatment and for six months after the last dose.
  • Before commencing treatment with BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION, inform your doctor if you have a stomach ulcer, active infection, or mild kidney problems, and disclose any recent vaccinations you have received. This medication can cause serious side effects, even at low doses. Therefore, regular follow-up appointments and routine laboratory tests are necessary as a precautionary measure. This medicine is strictly not recommended for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you are planning to become pregnant. It is important to discuss all medical conditions and medications you are taking with your doctor to ensure safe and effective treatment with BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION.
  • Methotrexate works by interfering with the growth of rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells or skin cells in psoriasis. In rheumatoid arthritis, it helps to suppress the immune system, reducing inflammation and joint damage. Because it affects cell growth and the immune system, it is crucial to monitor patients closely for potential side effects. These can include liver damage, kidney problems, blood disorders, and increased risk of infection. Regular blood tests are essential to monitor liver and kidney function, as well as blood cell counts. Patients should also be advised to avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of liver damage. Promptly report any signs of infection, such as fever, cough, or sore throat, to their healthcare provider.

Uses of BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION

  • To provide treatment for specific types of cancer that affect various organs and systems in the body.
  • To manage and alleviate the symptoms of severe psoriasis, a chronic skin condition causing inflammation and scaling.
  • To reduce inflammation and joint damage associated with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder.

Dosage of BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTIONArrow

  • Always adhere strictly to your doctor's instructions regarding the use of this medication.

  • It is crucial that you do not attempt to self-administer this medication. A healthcare professional should always administer BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION to ensure proper technique and to monitor for any potential side effects.

Benefits of BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTIONArrow

  • BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION works by inhibiting dihydrofolic acid reductase, an enzyme crucial for DNA synthesis, repair, and cellular replication. By interfering with this process, the medication particularly affects rapidly dividing cells, including malignant cells, bone marrow, fetal cells, and the cells lining the mouth, intestines, and urinary bladder. This targeted action is key to its therapeutic effects.
  • In the context of cancer treatment, BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION slows down the growth and spread of cancer cells. This is achieved by disrupting their ability to replicate effectively, ultimately leading to a reduction in the tumor's size and progression.
  • Furthermore, BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION plays a vital role in managing autoimmune diseases by suppressing the immune system. In these conditions, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. By dampening the immune response, the medication helps to alleviate inflammation and prevent further damage to the body's own cells.
  • The multifaceted mechanism of action of BIOTREXATE 500MG/5ML INJECTION makes it a valuable tool in treating various conditions, ranging from cancer to autoimmune disorders. Its ability to target rapidly proliferating cells and modulate the immune system contributes to its therapeutic efficacy.
