• IRITERO 40 INJECTION is a medication that contains irinotecan, which functions by disrupting the growth and spread of cancer cells. Once administered, the body converts irinotecan into its active form through the action of liver enzymes. This active metabolite then targets and inhibits an enzyme called Topoisomerase I, which is crucial for DNA replication and repair within cells.
• By inhibiting Topoisomerase I, IRITERO 40 INJECTION interferes with the DNA's ability to unwind and replicate properly. This disruption leads to DNA damage, which is particularly harmful to rapidly dividing cancer cells. The accumulation of DNA damage ultimately triggers cell death, preventing the cancer cells from multiplying and spreading to other parts of the body.
• This mechanism of action makes IRITERO 40 INJECTION an effective treatment option for various types of cancer, as it specifically targets the processes that enable cancer cells to grow and proliferate uncontrollably. Its ability to induce DNA damage and inhibit cell replication contributes to its therapeutic effects in combating cancer.

• Always use IRITERO 40 INJECTION exactly as your doctor prescribes. This medication will be administered by a healthcare professional directly into your vein through an intravenous (IV) line. It is crucial that you do not attempt to self-administer this injection.
• Before you start treatment with IRITERO 40 INJECTION, your physician will likely recommend a DNA test. This test helps determine if the medication is suitable for you and to tailor your treatment plan accordingly. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the most effective and safe treatment possible.
• The dosage of IRITERO 40 INJECTION is carefully determined by your doctor and depends on several factors, including your age, body size (weight), and specific medical condition. Your doctor will take these factors into account to prescribe the optimal dose for you. Closely follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and frequency of administration for the best results and to minimize potential side effects.
• If you have any questions or concerns regarding the administration of IRITERO 40 INJECTION or the DNA test, please consult with your healthcare provider for clarification and guidance.
