Description

Introduction Of Doxtel 120mg Injection:

Doxtel 120mg Injection is an anti-cancer medicine used in the treatment of breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, and head and neck cancer.

Doxtel 120mg Injection comes as a combipack with a single-dose vial and solvent. It is given as an intravenous infusion by a qualified healthcare professional after proper preparation and dilution. It should not be self-administered. Your doctor will decide the dose and treatment schedule based on your medical condition. It is usually given once every 3 weeks and may change from time to time. Your doctor may prescribe a steroid to take before and after each dose to help reduce fluid retention and allergic reactions. It may take several weeks or months for you to see or feel the benefits, but do not stop the treatment unless your doctor tells you to.

Fatigue, hair loss, and a drop in blood cell counts are among the most common effects of this medicine. Your doctor will advise regular blood tests to monitor your blood counts and liver function. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, unexplained bruising or bleeding, sudden breathlessness, or swelling of the face or legs. This medicine can lower your body’s ability to fight infections.

• Breast cancer
• Non-small cell lung cancer
• Prostate cancer

Benefits Of Doxtel 120mg Injection:

1. Breast cancer

Breast cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in breast tissue. Doxtel-120 Injection interferes with the microtubule structures inside cancer cells that they need to divide and multiply. This slows their growth and eventually destroys them.

2. Non-small cell lung cancer

Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the major types of lung cancer, affecting both smokers and non-smokers. Doxtel-120 Injection helps treat this condition and may be given alone or with other anti-cancer medicines to control tumour growth.

3. Prostate, stomach, and head and neck cancer

In these cancers, abnormal cells grow and spread in the prostate, stomach, or tissues of the mouth, nose, sinuses, and throat. Doxtel-120 Injection stops the growth of these cancer cells and prevents them from multiplying. This helps control the spread of the disease.
