Zildox Oxaliplatin 100mg Injection is an anticancer medicine used in the treatment of colon and rectal cancer. It works by stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells in the body. This injection is commonly used as part of combination chemotherapy to help control the spread of cancer and improve treatment outcomes.
How is Zildox Oxaliplatin 100mg Injection used?
Zildox Oxaliplatin Injection is given as an infusion into a vein by a trained healthcare professional. The doctor will decide the correct dosage and frequency of the treatment depending on the patient’s medical condition and response to therapy. It is important to receive this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Taking the wrong dose or stopping treatment without medical advice may lead to serious side effects or reduce the effectiveness of the therapy. The benefits of this medicine may take several weeks or months to become noticeable, so patients should continue the treatment as advised by their doctor.
How effective is Oxaliplatin?
Clinical studies such as the MOSAIC trial have shown that oxaliplatin combined with 5-FU/LV therapy is more effective in preventing or delaying the recurrence of colon cancer compared to treatment with 5-FU/LV alone. This makes oxaliplatin an important medicine in the treatment of stage III colon cancer after surgery.
Hair loss during treatment
Some patients may experience partial or complete hair loss about 3 to 4 weeks after starting treatment. Hair loss may occur on the scalp, as well as facial or body hair. However, hair usually grows back after the completion of treatment.
Common Side Effects of Zildox Oxaliplatin Injection
Most side effects are mild and may disappear as the body adjusts to the medicine. However, patients should consult their doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, anemia (low red blood cells), vomiting, diarrhea, decreased white blood cell count, low platelet levels, increased liver enzymes, peripheral neuropathy (tingling or numbness in hands and feet), and stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth).
