Uses of E-Rubicin 10mg Injection

E-Rubicin 10mg Injection is a chemotherapy medicine used mainly to treat breast cancer, often after surgery as part of a combination regimen. It is also used for some other cancers, including stomach cancer and, when instilled into the bladder, certain types of bladder cancer. It is given in hospital by trained cancer staff, following a plan set by an oncologist.

How E-Rubicin 10mg Injection works

Epirubicin slips between the strands of DNA in cancer cells and blocks an enzyme called topoisomerase II, which cells need to copy their DNA. The damaged cells cannot divide and eventually die. Healthy cells that divide quickly can also be affected, which explains many of its side effects.

Possible side effects

Side effects of E-Rubicin 10mg Injection are common but are usually temporary. They include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Hair loss
• Red urine for a day or two
• Low blood counts
• Mouth sores
• Tiredness

Report breathlessness, ankle swelling or a racing heartbeat, which may signal effects on the heart. Seek urgent help for fever or signs of infection, and tell staff at once about pain or burning at the drip site.

Precautions and warnings

• It is given only under the supervision of a cancer specialist, with regular blood tests.
• Your heart function will usually be checked before and during treatment, especially if you have had other anthracyclines or chest radiotherapy.
• It can harm an unborn baby; reliable contraception is needed during treatment, and breastfeeding should be avoided.
• Report fever, sore throat or unusual bruising at once, as these can mean low blood counts.
• Tell your team about any liver, kidney or heart problems and all other medicines you take.

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.
