ARSENAM 10MG INJECTION VIAL

About

Arsenam 10mg Injection is prescribed for the treatment of leukemia (cancer of white blood cells). It is generally used in patients who have not responded to other treatments and may be given alone or in combination with other medicines as a first-line therapy.

This medicine is administered as an intravenous (IV) injection under the supervision of a doctor, with regular monitoring of blood pressure. The dosage and frequency are determined by your doctor based on your condition and may be adjusted during treatment. It is important to take this medicine exactly as prescribed, as incorrect use or overdose can cause serious side effects. The benefits may take several weeks or months to become noticeable, and treatment should not be stopped without your doctor’s advice.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, rash, and increased heart rate. It may also raise blood sugar levels. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience excessive thirst, increased hunger, frequent urination, or blurred vision. Regular blood tests will be required to monitor calcium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and ECG monitoring will also be done before and during treatment.

Before starting Arsenam, inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, or kidney problems, or if you are taking medicines for infections. Since this medicine may interact with other medications, provide your doctor with your full medication history. Arsenam 10mg Injection is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
