Product Description

Etoposide / Etoposide is used for Small Cell Lung Cancer, Acute Leukemia, Bladder Cancer, Spread Of Cancer Cells, Cancer Of Testicles and other conditions.

Etoposide is used to treat certain forms of lung cancer (such as small cell lung cancer). Etoposide works by slowing the growth of cancer cells.

Mechanism and Indication

Etoposide works by inhibiting the enzyme topoisomerase II, leading to breaks in DNA strands and subsequent cell death, especially in rapidly dividing cancer cells. It is indicated for treating small cell lung cancer and testicular cancer, offering an effective oral therapy option for eligible patients.

Dosage and Administration

This medication is available as 50 mg capsules to be taken orally, usually as part of a chemotherapy regimen designed by a healthcare professional. Adherence to prescribed dosage and schedule is essential for optimal results and minimizing side effects. Administer capsules with water, preferably at the same time each day.

Safety and Handling Precautions

Use Etoposide Capsules with caution, particularly in patients with liver or kidney impairment. Avoid use in those with known hypersensitivity to etoposide or its excipients. As a cytotoxic agent, careful handling is required. Patients may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, or low blood cell counts, so regular monitoring is recommended.
