About
Mesna 100mg Injection is used to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis (bleeding in the bladder) caused by the chemotherapy drug ifosfamide. It is not effective for bladder bleeding caused by other medical conditions.
This injection is administered under medical supervision. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and duration based on your condition and how you respond to treatment. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage, as incorrect use or overdose may lead to serious side effects. The benefits may take time to appear, so do not stop treatment without your doctor’s approval.
Common side effects include nausea, headache, lightheadedness, fatigue, and abdominal pain. Patients are advised to drink at least 1 liter of fluids daily during treatment. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction such as rash, itching, breathing difficulties, chest tightness, or swelling of the face, lips, mouth, or tongue. Your doctor may recommend regular blood tests to monitor blood cells, kidney and liver function, and uric acid levels.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of autoimmune diseases, liver or kidney issues, or are taking other medications, including those for infections. Mesna 100mg Injection is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Effective contraception is advised for both men and women during treatment to prevent pregnancy.
