About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Irinot 100mg Injection contains Irinotecan, a chemotherapeutic agent used primarily in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Irinotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor that interferes with DNA replication by stabilizing the cleavable complex formed between topoisomerase I and DNA, thereby preventing religation of single-strand breaks and ultimately inducing apoptosis in rapidly dividing cancer cells. This formulation is intended for intravenous administration under strict medical supervision. The dosage and treatment schedule should be individualized based on patient tolerance, tumor response, and clinical guidelines. Common adverse effects include neutropenia, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, which require careful monitoring and supportive care. Irinot 100mg Injection is contraindicated in patients with severe bone marrow suppression or hypersensitivity to Irinotecan or its components. Caution is advised in patients with impaired hepatic function, as metabolism and clearance of Irinotecan may be affected. Drug interactions may occur with agents that affect cytochrome P450 enzymes, necessitating dose adjustments. This product should be used as part of a comprehensive oncology treatment regimen, often in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents. Proper handling and disposal procedures must be followed to minimize exposure risks to healthcare personnel.

About Irinotecan

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.

How It Works

Irinotecan exerts its anticancer effects by inhibiting topoisomerase I, preventing DNA replication and leading to the death of rapidly dividing cancer cells.
