Doxulip 20Mg Inj *

Doxulip 20Mg Inj * is an anti-cancer medicine used in the treatment of cancer. Cancer is a disease where the cells grow abnormally and divide uncontrollably. Doxulip 20Mg Inj * is primarily used as adjuvant chemotherapy in women with axillary lymph nodes with involvement resection of breast cancer (abnormal growth in the cells of the breast). It is also used to treat neuroblastoma (cancer that starts in nerve cells and primarily affects children) and Wilms' tumor (a form of kidney cancer that affects children).

Doxulip 20Mg Inj * contains Doxorubicin, which belongs to the class of anthracycline topoisomerase inhibitors. It inhibits the topoisomerase II enzyme by intercalating the DNA base pairs. This causes double helix DNA to be uncoiled, destroying DNA and RNA synthesis.

Doxulip 20Mg Inj * may cause certain side effects such as nausea, headache, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, vomiting, dizziness, mouth sores, tiredness, back pain, red discoloration of urine, diarrhea, and pain at the site of injection. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Hence, if you have any such conditions, inform your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have any cardiovascular conditions, liver/kidney disease, or taking any CYP3A4 or CYP2D6 inducers medication, as it can cause adverse effects.

• Regular complete blood count monitoring is advised.  Also, monitoring of liver function is important while receiving Doxulip 20Mg Inj *.
• According to postmarketing reports, juvenile children receiving doxorubicin hydrochloride are at risk of developing late cardiovascular dysfunction. Risk factors include early age during treatment (particularly five years), large cumulative dosages, and receipt of multimodal modality therapy. All pediatric patients who have received doxorubicin hydrochloride should undergo long-term cardiovascular monitoring.

Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is a type of cancer with abnormal growth in the cells of the breast. There are different kinds of breast cancer, such as cancer occurring in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), and in the fatty tissue or the fibrous connective tissue within the breast. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast, breast pain, redness, swelling, nipple discharge other than breast milk, bloody discharge, a lump or swelling under the arm, unexplained change in shape, size or appearance of the breast, peeling, flaking or scaling of the skin. 

Lymphoma: Lymphoma is a wide word for cancer that develops in lymph system cells. Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are the two most common kinds. Hodgkin lymphoma is frequently curable.
