About
Irinotel 40mg 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 are determined by your doctor based on your medical condition and treatment needs, and may be adjusted over time. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, as incorrect use or overdose can lead to serious side effects. The benefits of this medicine may take several weeks or months to become noticeable, and treatment should not be stopped unless advised by your doctor.
Common side effects include fatigue, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and hair loss. It may also lower the number of red and white blood cells, which increases the risk of infections. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop fever, sore throat, or persistent diarrhea. Routine blood tests will be needed to monitor blood cell counts as well as heart, liver, and uric acid levels.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have any heart, liver, or kidney conditions, or if you are taking medicines for infections. Since Irinotel can interact with many other medicines, it is important to share your complete medication history with your healthcare provider. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and effective contraception must be used by both men and women during treatment to prevent pregnancy.
