About
Iritero 100 Injection is used to treat cancers of the colon and rectum. It works by slowing down or stopping the growth of cancer cells.
This medication is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion by a qualified healthcare professional. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and schedule based on your condition, which may change over time. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, as incorrect use or overdose can lead to serious side effects. It may take weeks or months to see the full benefit of the treatment, so do not stop taking it unless advised by your doctor.
Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and hair loss. Iritero 100 Injection may lower the levels of red and white blood cells, increasing the risk of infections. Contact your doctor if you experience a 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 any medications for infections. This medicine may interact with other drugs, so it's essential to let your healthcare team know about all medications you are using. Iritero 100 Injection is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Both men and women should use effective contraception during treatment to prevent pregnancy.
