Product Description
Active Ingredient: Pemetrexed 500 mg.
Mechanism of Action: Pemetrexed works by blocking the action of certain substances (folate-dependent enzymes) that cancer cells need to multiply and grow. This interference stops the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Medical Uses: It is primarily used to manage advanced stages of:
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A common type of lung cancer. It can be used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma: A type of cancer that affects the protective layer surrounding the lungs and the inner side of the ribs.
Administration: The medicine is administered as an intravenous infusion by a qualified healthcare professional in a clinical setting. It is not for self-administration.
Premedication: To reduce the severity of side effects, doctors may prescribe corticosteroids, folic acid, and vitamin B12 supplements during the treatment.
Monitoring: Regular blood tests are necessary before each treatment to check kidney and liver function, as well as blood cell counts.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects often associated with Pemetero include:
Nausea and vomiting
Loss of appetite
Fatigue
Hair loss (usually temporary)
Sore throat or mouth inflammation (stomatitis)
Low blood cell counts (leading to increased risk of infection)
