Introduction About ADRIAMYCIN RTU 50MG INJECTION

ADRIAMYCIN
RTU 50MG INJECTION contains Doxorubicin which belongs to the group of
medicines called Anti-cancer agents. It is used to manage certain types
of cancers. It is used either alone or along with other anti-cancer
medicines.

Cancer is a disease in which some of the cells of the body grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body.

or ever had heart disease, either before or during radiotherapy, had or

have recently taken Trastuzumab (used in the management of certain
cancers).

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in
pregnant women. Consult your doctor during breast-feeding before
starting management with this medicine as it may pass through the breast
milk and possibly harm your child. Consult your doctor for advice
before receiving the medicine.

ADRIAMYCIN RTU 50MG INJECTION are infection, lack of appetite,

occur whilst being managed with this medicine.

Hair loss is very
common and may be quite severe, beard growth may stop in men, fever,
feeling weak, chills, abnormal ECG (electrical trace of the heart)
results, raised levels of liver enzymes (as detected by a blood test)
can determine if the medicine is having an abnormal effect on your
liver, weight increased in patients with early breast cancer.

How ADRIAMYCIN RTU 50MG INJECTION Works

ADRIAMYCIN
RTU 50MG INJECTION works by suppressing the activity of an enzyme
(topoisomerase II) involved in the DNA multiplication of the cancer
cells. On the other hand, this also forms harmful chemicals (free
radicals) which cause damage to the DNA. This slowdown the growth of
cancer cells and eventually works against them.
