Description
Oxaliplatin 50 mg/10 mL Single-Dose Vial is a chemotherapy agent used primarily for the treatment of colorectal cancer. It is indicated for use in combination with other chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil and leucovorin, for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. Oxaliplatin is also employed in the adjuvant treatment of colon cancer after surgery to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
Oxaliplatin is a platinum-based compound that works by interfering with DNA replication in cancer cells. It forms cross-links in the DNA strands, preventing the cells from dividing and ultimately leading to cell death. This mechanism of action is effective against rapidly dividing cancer cells, which include those found in many solid tumors, especially in colorectal cancer.
The drug is typically administered intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The dosage and administration are tailored to the individual patient based on their overall health, the stage of cancer, and their response to treatment. Adverse effects may include neuropathy, nausea, vomiting, and low blood cell counts, among others.
