What is Irinotel 40mg Injection used for?
Irinotel 40mg (Irinotecan) is an anti-cancer medicine used to treat colon and rectal cancer, often in combination with other chemotherapy medicines.
Irinotecan can cause severe diarrhea, which may occur early (during or shortly after infusion) or later (more than 24 hours after treatment). Early diarrhea can often be prevented or treated with atropine, while late diarrhea can be life-threatening and requires prompt treatment with loperamide and adequate fluids. It can also cause severe drops in blood cell counts, increasing infection risk.
It works by inhibiting the enzyme topoisomerase I, which is essential for DNA replication in cancer cells. This slows their growth and prevents multiplication, eventually causing the cancer cells to die.
It is given as an IV infusion into a vein by a qualified medical professional. Your doctor will determine the dose and frequency based on your condition and how your body responds to treatment.
Alcohol and smoking should be avoided during treatment, and staying well hydrated is important, especially given the risk of diarrhea. Any signs of severe or persistent diarrhea should be reported to your doctor immediately.
Each vial contains 40mg of Irinotecan in 2ml, manufactured by Fresenius Kabi India Pvt Ltd, made in India.
