Fosfamide 1gm Injection

Fosfamide 1gm Injection contains Ifosfamide 1g, an alkylating chemotherapy medicine. Made by CCL Pharmaceuticals Ltd, it is prescribed for sarcoma, testicular cancer, lymphoma and other cancers. Pack size: 1 vial injection.

Uses of Fosfamide 1gm Injection

Fosfamide 1gm Injection is a chemotherapy medicine used to treat several types of cancer, including soft tissue and bone sarcomas, testicular cancer that has come back, some lymphomas and occasionally other solid tumours. It is usually given as part of a combination of anticancer medicines, as a drip in hospital, under the care of a specialist cancer team.

How Fosfamide 1gm Injection works

Ifosfamide is converted in the liver into active compounds that attach to the DNA of rapidly dividing cells and link its strands together. The cells can no longer copy their DNA or divide, so they die. Normal fast-growing cells, such as those in the bone marrow and hair roots, are also affected.

Possible side effects

Like most chemotherapy, Fosfamide 1gm Injection commonly causes side effects. These include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Hair loss
• Tiredness
• Low blood counts with a higher risk of infection
• Bladder irritation

Tell your cancer team immediately about blood in your urine, confusion, unusual drowsiness or hallucinations, fever or chills, unusual bleeding or bruising, or passing much less urine than usual.

Precautions and warnings

• Fosfamide 1gm Injection is given only in hospital under a specialist, with regular blood and urine tests; a protective medicine called mesna is usually given alongside it to protect the bladder.
• Drink fluids as your team advises and pass urine often to help protect your bladder.
• Reliable contraception is needed during treatment and for a period afterwards for both men and women, and treatment can affect fertility.
• Report fever, sore throat, bruising or bleeding at once, as your immunity will be low.
• Avoid alcohol and tell your team about all other medicines, as several drugs change how ifosfamide is processed.

Storage

Store as directed on the pack, protected from light. Injections should only be prepared and given by a doctor, nurse or other trained healthcare professional. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
