About
Oxitoz 100mg Injection is a platinum-based antineoplastic (anti-cancer) drug that contains the active ingredient Oxaliplatin. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of stage 3 colon cancer following surgical removal (resection) of the primary tumor, and for metastatic cancer of the colon and rectum. This medication is typically used in combination with other chemotherapy agents. Colorectal cancer, which affects the large intestine and rectum, arises from the accumulation of genetic mutations. Both environmental influences and hereditary factors play a significant role in its development. Oxitoz is particularly effective against tumors that are resistant to cisplatin-based therapies.
Common side effects of Oxitoz 100mg Injection include a reduction in blood cell counts, throat discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, heartburn, blood clots, blood in the urine, high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, and low calcium levels. Notify your doctor if any of these symptoms become bothersome or persistent.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you are allergic to Oxitoz or any of its components. Also, disclose if you have any kidney, liver, or heart conditions. Let your doctor know about all other medications, including vaccines, that you are currently taking. This medication is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
