Dosage and duration of therapy should be individualized based on tumor type, patient condition, and response to treatment, with careful monitoring for hematologic toxicity, including neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Other adverse effects may include alopecia, mucositis, hypotension during infusion, and gastrointestinal disturbances.
Itocad 100 Injection is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to etoposide or any formulation components, and caution is advised in those with impaired hepatic or renal function.
