Description

Fluorouracil Injection 500 mg, packaged in a set of 10 vials (10x10 ml), is an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent widely used for the treatment of various types of cancer. Its mechanism of action involves interfering with the synthesis of DNA and RNA in rapidly dividing cancer cells, thereby inhibiting their growth and proliferation. The medication is commonly prescribed for cancers such as colorectal, breast, stomach, and pancreatic, often as part of a combination chemotherapy regimen.

Each vial contains 500 mg of fluorouracil dissolved in 10 ml of an aqueous solution, ensuring precise dosage and ease of administration. The injection is typically administered intravenously under strict medical supervision to ensure accurate dosing and minimize potential side effects. The product is manufactured under stringent quality standards to guarantee efficacy and safety in clinical settings.

Fluorouracil is a critical component of cancer therapy due to its proven efficacy, though its use requires careful monitoring. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, mucositis, and myelosuppression, which necessitate close patient observation during treatment. Regular blood tests are often performed to assess the patient’s response to therapy and manage potential toxicities effectively.
