About ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION

  • ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION is an anticancer drug containing Etoposide as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of medications known as cytostatics, which work by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. This injection is primarily used in the treatment of various cancers, including testicular cancer, small-cell lung cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (a type of blood cancer), Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cancers affecting the lymphatic system), and ovarian cancer in adult patients.
  • Before receiving ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION, inform your doctor if you have a history of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, as these treatments can affect your body's response to the drug. It's also crucial to tell your doctor if you have any existing infections or if you have low levels of protein (albumin) in your blood, as these conditions may require special monitoring or adjustments to your treatment plan. This medicine is contraindicated if you have recently been vaccinated against yellow fever or have received any other live vaccines, due to the risk of severe adverse reactions. Disclose any pre-existing kidney problems or liver disorders to your physician before commencing treatment with this medicine, to ensure safe and effective administration.
  • During treatment with ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION, both men and women should use effective methods of contraception to prevent pregnancy. It is recommended to continue using birth control for at least 6 months after the last dose of the medicine. Men are advised not to father a child during treatment and for up to 6 months following the final dose, due to potential risks to the developing fetus. Consultation with a doctor regarding fertility concerns is highly recommended before starting treatment. Administration of this injection can lead to a reduction in blood cell counts, increasing the risk of infections. Therefore, regular blood tests may be necessary to monitor kidney and liver function throughout the treatment period. The safety and efficacy of ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION in children have not been definitively established, and its use in pediatric patients should be approached with caution.
  • It is also important to maintain good hydration and nutrition during treatment to help manage side effects and support your body's healing process. Report any unusual symptoms or side effects to your doctor promptly. This includes fever, chills, persistent cough, unusual bleeding or bruising, or signs of allergic reaction. Your doctor will adjust the dosage or provide supportive care as needed to ensure the best possible outcome.

Dosage of ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTIONArrow

  • ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION is administered directly into a vein through intravenous infusion. This ensures the medication is delivered efficiently and effectively into your bloodstream. Because this is a specialized method of drug delivery, it is crucial that the injection be administered by a trained healthcare professional.
  • Self-administration of ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION is strictly not recommended. Healthcare professionals are equipped to manage any potential complications during or after the infusion. Rely on medical professionals for proper administration and care.
  • The dosage and frequency of ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION administration will be carefully determined by your physician. The specific dosage regimen is customized based on your unique medical condition, its severity, and your response to the treatment. What works for one individual may not be appropriate for another.
  • It is essential to adhere strictly to the schedule and dosage prescribed by your doctor to achieve the best possible results from ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION treatment. Any concerns or questions about the dosage or administration should be addressed with your healthcare provider.

  • Store ETOSID 100MG INJ at room temperature.

Benefits of ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTIONArrow

  • ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION is a medication that targets cancer cells by interfering with their ability to replicate and multiply. It achieves this by inhibiting topoisomerase II, an enzyme crucial for DNA synthesis and cell replication. By disrupting the function of topoisomerase II, the injection prevents cancer cells from properly duplicating their DNA, which halts their growth and division.
  • This disruption ultimately triggers a process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in the cancer cells. The selective action of ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION on rapidly dividing cells, like cancer cells, helps to minimize damage to healthy, normal cells in the body. However, some side effects are still possible, so it's crucial to discuss these with your doctor.
  • The primary mechanism involves the injection's active ingredient binding to topoisomerase II, forming a complex that prevents the enzyme from resealing DNA strands after they have been cut for replication. This leads to DNA fragmentation and cell death, effectively stopping the spread of cancer.

How to use ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTIONArrow

  • ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION is administered intravenously, meaning it's delivered directly into a vein through an infusion. This ensures the medication is absorbed efficiently and begins working quickly.
  • Because of the specific requirements for administration, a qualified healthcare professional will administer this injection. It is crucial not to attempt self-administration. The process involves careful monitoring and precise control of the infusion rate to minimize potential complications.
  • The dosage and frequency of ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION administration are determined by your physician. These factors depend heavily on your unique medical condition, its severity, and your response to the treatment. What works for one individual may not be appropriate for another, so a personalized approach is essential.
  • Your doctor will consider various factors, including your overall health, kidney and liver function, and any other medications you may be taking, to determine the most suitable dosage schedule. Regular monitoring during treatment is essential to ensure the medication is working effectively and to manage any potential side effects. It's important to attend all scheduled appointments and communicate openly with your healthcare team about any concerns or changes you experience.
  • The healthcare professional administering the injection will dilute the ETOSID 100MG/5ML INJECTION before administering it. This is done to reduce the risk of irritation or other adverse reactions at the injection site. The diluted medication is then infused slowly over a specific period, which can range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the prescribed protocol.
