Paclitaxel 260mg Injection

Paclitaxel 260mg Injection (composed of polyoxyethylated castor oil) is an anti-cancer drug used for the treatment of :

• Breast Cancer
• Ovarian Cancer
• Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

It is highly effective for NSCLC patients that are not operable and/or not candidates for curative radiation therapy and has an added benefit when combined with cisplatin.

Paclitaxel 260mg Injection is a chemotherapy agent that belongs to the taxane family. Paclitaxel disrupts the disassembly of microtubules during cellular division thus allowing mitotic arrest and cell death to occur. Paclitaxel promotes the spindle assembly checkpoint which is one of the primary mechanisms that prevents the aberrant separation of chromosomes during mitosis.

Clinical studies have shown excellent response rates:

• Single-agent therapy: up to 86%
• Combination therapy: up to 87%
• With radiation: up to 100%

These results make Paclitaxel a proven choice in cancer chemotherapy protocols.

The following side effects of chemotherapy are common: 

• Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea 
• Mouth sores 
• Aching in the muscles or joints 
• A tingling or numb feeling in the feet or hands 
• Flushing, dizziness, or drowsiness 

 Temporary hair loss (about 3-4 weeks into treatment), including scalp hair, eyebrow hair and body hair Please Note: Hair typically regrows after treatment ends. If you develop a serious allergic reaction, which may involve swelling, breathing problems or confusion, seek medical attention immediately

Most patients lose some hair or notice thinning hair within two to three weeks of starting Paclitaxel therapy, and the hair loss can occur anywhere on the body. Patients will generally regrow hair after their treatment is finished and many patients will wear caps, wigs, or scarves to cover their hair loss during treatment.
