Bleocel Injection 1's

Bleocel Injection belongs to a group of anti-cancer medicines used to treat certain types of cancer (squamous cell carcinomas) in the head and neck, cervix and external genitalia, lymph node cancer, testicular cancer, and fluid accumulation in the lungs (as a result of cancer). Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue. Some of the body's cells begin to divide into all cancer types without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues. Cancer can be localized (benign) or spread to the whole body (metastasized).

Bleocel Injection contains 'Bleomycin' that works by interfering with the growth of genetic material (DNA and RNA) of the cancer cells. This prevents the cancer cells from multiplying and growing and eventually kills them. Bleocel Injection is used as chemotherapy for various cancers.

Bleocel Injection will be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Kindly do not self-administer. You may experience nausea, vomiting, weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, itching, tenderness, hair loss, and swelling of the fingertips. Most of these side effects of Bleocel Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Bleocel Injection for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Do not stop the Bleocel Injection midway. Talk to your doctor before taking Bleocel Injection; if you have allergies, heart problems, one marrow depression, kidney disease, liver disease, chickenpox, lung disease, and treatment with chemotherapy or radiation, inform your doctor.
