Oxaltie 100mg Infusion

Oxaltie 100mg Infusion contains Oxaliplatin 100mg, a platinum-based chemotherapy medicine. Made by Ferozsons Laboratories Limited, it is prescribed for colorectal cancer, stomach cancer and pancreatic cancer. Pack size: 1 vial infusion.

Uses of Oxaltie 100mg Infusion

Oxaltie 100mg Infusion is used to treat bowel (colorectal) cancer, both after surgery to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back and for advanced disease. It is usually given in combination with other chemotherapy medicines such as fluorouracil or capecitabine. It may also be used for some stomach and pancreatic cancers. It is given as an infusion in hospital.

How Oxaltie 100mg Infusion works

Oxaliplatin contains platinum, which binds to the DNA inside cancer cells and forms cross-links. This damage prevents the cells from copying their DNA and dividing, so they die.

Possible side effects

Like other chemotherapy, Oxaltie 100mg Infusion causes side effects. Common ones include:

• Tingling or numbness triggered by cold
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Tiredness
• Low blood counts
• Mouth sores

Contact your cancer team immediately if you develop fever or feel shivery and unwell, have difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe diarrhoea, or unusual bleeding or bruising.

Precautions and warnings

• Given only under a cancer specialist with regular blood tests.
• Report fever, sore throat or bruising at once.
• Avoid cold drinks, cold food and touching cold objects for a few days after each treatment, as cold can trigger nerve symptoms and throat tightness.
• Tell your team if numbness or tingling lasts between treatments, as the dose may need changing.
• It can harm an unborn baby, so use effective contraception and do not breastfeed during treatment.

Storage
