Oxaliplatin Injection 50 mg/10 mL

Oxaliplatin Injection 50 mg/10 mL is a platinum-based chemotherapy medication used mainly in the treatment of colorectal cancer. It works by forming cross-links in DNA, which prevents cancer cells from dividing and leads to their destruction. This medicine is typically used in combination with other anticancer drugs such as fluorouracil and leucovorin in treatment regimens like FOLFOX. It is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion in a hospital or oncology clinic under the supervision of a trained healthcare professional. The dosage and schedule depend on the patient’s condition, body surface area, and overall treatment plan. Oxaliplatin is usually given in cycles, allowing the body time to recover between treatments. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and low blood cell counts, which may increase the risk of infection. A distinctive side effect is peripheral neuropathy, causing tingling, numbness, or sensitivity to cold. Patients are often advised to avoid cold foods and drinks during treatment. Regular monitoring through blood tests is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness.
