About DACSTED 500 INJECTION

  • DACSTED 500 INJECTION contains dacarbazine, an active ingredient and an antineoplastic drug belonging to the class of alkylating agents. It is used to prevent and treat metastatic malignant melanoma (skin cancer) and Hodgkin's disease (cancer that forms in the lymph system, part of the immune system). It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body.
  • It is often combined with cisplatin, a cytotoxic agent, to treat certain types of cancers for Hodgkin's lymphoma. DACSTED 500 INJECTION may also be used with temozolomide for melanoma treatment. Patients should be aware of a potentially increased risk of certain types of non-melanoma skin cancer with the use of this medication. Pregnant women should not use this drug, and women of childbearing potential should practice effective contraception during treatment and for at least 6 months after stopping the medication. It is not known whether DACSTED 500 INJECTION passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding should be avoided while using this drug. Caution should be exercised in patients with pre-existing liver or kidney problems. Avoid live vaccines while on DACSTED 500 INJECTION, as it may weaken your immune system and increase the risk of serious infection. Consult your doctor for further advice.
  • DACSTED 500 INJECTION may cause pain along the vein during administration. Inform your nurse immediately if you experience pain so they can check the infusion site. They may administer the drug more slowly or flush the area with more fluids to reduce discomfort. Treatment should not commence if your white blood cell (leukocyte) count is below determined levels, which your doctor will regularly monitor. Do not use this medication if you are allergic to dacarbazine. Before each treatment, blood tests will ensure you have enough blood cells. It is usually given once every three to four weeks. Before taking DACSTED 500 INJECTION, inform your doctor about all medications, including herbal remedies and supplements, you are currently taking. Ensure your healthcare provider is aware of your complete medical history to manage your treatment effectively and minimize potential side effects.

Uses of DACSTED 500 INJECTION

  • Metastatic Malignant Melanoma: This refers to a type of skin cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. DACSTED 500 INJECTION can be used to help slow the growth of this cancer and alleviate symptoms.
  • Hodgkin’s Disease: This is a type of lymphoma that affects the lymphatic system. DACSTED 500 INJECTION may be used as part of a chemotherapy regimen to treat this disease, helping to destroy cancerous cells and prevent disease progression.

Safety Advice for DACSTED 500 INJECTIONArrow

default alt

Pregnancy

UNSAFE

DACSTED 500 INJECTION is not recommended for pregnant women as it may cause fetal harm. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy during the treatment.

Dosage of DACSTED 500 INJECTIONArrow

  • DACSTED 500 INJECTION will be administered to you by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting. This injection is given intravenously, directly into a vein located in your arm or hand. It is crucial that you do not attempt to self-administer this medication.
  • The precise dosage and the schedule for administration will be determined based on the specific type and stage of cancer being treated. Typically, DACSTED 500 INJECTION is administered approximately 30 minutes before you receive your chemotherapy treatment. This pre-treatment helps to mitigate potential side effects associated with chemotherapy.
  • During the infusion process, you will be closely monitored by healthcare professionals for any adverse reactions or side effects related to the medication. It is essential to receive each dose at the scheduled time to maintain the effectiveness of the treatment. If, for any reason, you miss a scheduled dose, it is imperative that you contact your doctor immediately to reschedule the dose as soon as possible. Consistent adherence to the treatment schedule is vital for optimal outcomes.

How to store DACSTED 500 INJECTION?Arrow

  • Keep DACSTED 500MG INJ away from the reach of children and pets.
  • Store DACSTED 500MG INJ in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Do not freeze.

Benefits of DACSTED 500 INJECTIONArrow

  • DACSTED 500 INJECTION belongs to a class of medications known as alkylating agents, a category of drugs recognized for their ability to disrupt the growth of cancer cells. Its primary mechanism of action involves a process called alkylation, where it modifies the DNA within cancer cells.
  • Upon administration, DACSTED 500 INJECTION is initially inactive. It requires activation by the liver, a crucial step that transforms the drug into its active form. Once activated, it can effectively target cancer cells.
  • The active form of DACSTED 500 INJECTION penetrates cancer cells and interferes with DNA synthesis, a fundamental process essential for cell division and proliferation. By inhibiting DNA synthesis, the drug disrupts the normal cell cycle, preventing cancer cells from replicating.
  • This disruption of the cell cycle and DNA function leads to a significant reduction in the growth and multiplication of cancer cells. Ultimately, DACSTED 500 INJECTION helps to control the spread of cancer by hindering the ability of cancerous cells to divide and proliferate uncontrollably.

How to use DACSTED 500 INJECTIONArrow

  • DACSTED 500 INJECTION will be administered to you by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting. This injection will be given intravenously, directly into a vein in your arm or hand.

The precise dosage and schedule for administration are carefully determined based on the specific type and stage of cancer being treated.
  • Typically, DACSTED 500 INJECTION is administered approximately 30 minutes before you receive your anti-cancer medicine, which is chemotherapy. This pre-treatment helps to manage potential side effects and enhance the effectiveness of your chemotherapy regimen. During the infusion process, you will be closely monitored by medical staff for any adverse reactions or side effects related to the medication.
  • It is extremely important to adhere to the scheduled time for each dose of DACSTED 500 INJECTION. Consistency in timing is vital for maintaining optimal drug levels in your system and achieving the best possible therapeutic outcomes. If, for any reason, you miss a scheduled dose, it is imperative that you contact your doctor or healthcare provider immediately to reschedule the dose as soon as possible. Do not delay in contacting them, as timely administration is key to the success of your treatment.
