About

Relitrexed 500mg Injection is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma.

It is administered by a qualified healthcare professional. The exact dose and frequency will be determined by your doctor based on your medical condition and treatment response, and may be adjusted if necessary. Take it strictly as advised, since incorrect use or overdose can lead to serious side effects. The benefits of this treatment may take several weeks or months to appear, and you should not stop unless directed by your doctor.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and hair loss. This medicine can also reduce the number of red and white blood cells, increasing the risk of infections. To ensure safe use, your doctor will monitor your blood counts, heart function, liver function, and uric acid levels through regular tests.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart, liver, or kidney problems, or if you are taking any medicines for infections.
