About
Vincreta 1mg Injection is a chemotherapy drug that contains Vincristine Sulphate as its active ingredient. It belongs to a group of medicines known as vinca alkaloids, which work by stopping the growth of cancer cells. This medication is used to treat various types of cancer, including blood cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancers, kidney cancer, bone cancer, and lung cancer. It is also effective in treating rhabdomyosarcoma (a cancer affecting muscle tissue), neuroblastoma (a cancer arising from immature nerve cells), multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer), thyroid cancer, and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a blood disorder.
Vincreta 1mg Injection should not be used in patients with untreated infections or those with Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome, a condition that leads to muscle weakness in the legs. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have breathing difficulties, mental health conditions, liver problems, low blood cell counts, nervous system disorders, or if you are undergoing radiation therapy.
As with most chemotherapy drugs, Vincreta can cause side effects, including nausea, vomiting, constipation, fatigue, and hair loss. It is important to discuss the potential benefits and risks of this treatment with your doctor to ensure it is suitable for your condition.
