About
Irinot 100mg Injection is prescribed for the treatment of colon and rectal cancer. It works by slowing down or stopping the growth of cancer cells.
This medicine is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion by a qualified healthcare professional. The dosage and frequency will be determined by your doctor based on your medical condition, and may be adjusted over time. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, as taking the wrong dose or using it improperly can cause serious side effects. The benefits of this treatment may take several weeks or months to appear, so do not stop therapy unless advised by your doctor.
Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and hair loss. Irinot 100mg Injection can also reduce red and white blood cell counts, which may increase the risk of infections. Contact your doctor if you develop symptoms such as fever, sore throat, or persistent diarrhea. Regular blood tests will be needed to monitor your blood cell counts, as well as heart, liver, and uric acid levels.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart, liver, or kidney problems, or if you are taking medicines for infections. Since this medicine may interact with other medications, always share your full medical history with your healthcare team. Irinot 40mg Injection is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
