About
Tumocin 15IU Injection contains bleomycin, an antineoplastic antibiotic used in cancer treatment. It helps slow or stop the growth of cancer cells by damaging their DNA and RNA, preventing them from dividing and multiplying. Tumocin is commonly used to treat cancers of the lymph nodes (Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma), head and neck cancers, and cancers of the external genitalia. It may be given alone or in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Additionally, it is used to manage and prevent fluid buildup in the lungs caused by cancer.
Tumocin is typically administered via injection or infusion, either as a standalone therapy or alongside other cancer treatments. The dosage and frequency are determined by factors such as the type and stage of cancer, the patient’s age, overall health, and the oncologist’s treatment plan.
Possible side effects include lung complications, skin reactions, fever, and nausea. In some cases, it may also impact kidney, liver, or heart function. Therefore, patients undergoing treatment with Tumocin require regular monitoring to manage potential side effects effectively.
