Uses of Paclixil 30mg Injection

Paclixil 30mg Injection is a chemotherapy medicine given by drip into a vein in hospital. It is used to treat breast cancer, ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, and sometimes other cancers such as Kaposi’s sarcoma or cancers of the stomach, head and neck. It is often given in combination with other cancer medicines, according to a plan set by an oncologist.

How Paclixil 30mg Injection works

Paclitaxel targets microtubules, tiny protein structures that act as a scaffold when a cell divides. It locks this scaffold in place so the cell cannot split into two, and the cancer cell dies. Because healthy fast-dividing cells are also affected, side effects such as hair loss and low blood counts occur.

Possible side effects

Paclixil 30mg Injection commonly causes side effects, and your cancer team will help you manage them. They include:

• Hair loss
• Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
• Low blood counts
• Joint and muscle pain
• Nausea or diarrhoea
• Mouth sores

Tell staff at once about flushing, chest tightness or breathlessness during the infusion. At home, seek urgent help for a fever, signs of infection, severe numbness or breathing difficulty.

Precautions and warnings

• It is given only under the supervision of a cancer specialist, with regular blood tests.
• You will usually be given medicines before each infusion to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.
• 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 liver problems, 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.
