About this molecule
Irinotecan20mg/ml
Full details →Irinotecan is an antineoplastic agent used primarily in the treatment of colorectal cancer. This chemotherapy drug works by inhibiting topoisomerase I, an enzyme essential for DNA replication and cell division. By blocking this enzyme, Irinotecan prevents cancer cells from multiplying, thereby inhibiting tumor growth. It is typically administered in a clinical setting under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue. In summary, Irinotecan is a critical component in the management of colorectal cancer.
Why a generic substitute?

A substitute has the exact same salt(s) — so it works the same way as the brand.
Often much cheaper
Generics can cost a fraction of the branded price for the identical molecule.
Quality-regulated
All medicines we list are from licensed sellers and meet the same standards.
Substitutes share the same active ingredients, but always confirm the strength and form with your doctor or pharmacist before switching — especially for chronic, prescription or narrow-therapeutic-index medicines.
