About Emtreo Injection

Emtreo Injection belongs to the group of anti-cancer medicines called alkylating agents indicated in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer after at least one prior standard therapy. Ovarian cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow and multiply in the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
 
Emtreo Injection contains Treosulfan, which works by inhibiting tumour growth. It prevents the cancer cells from multiplying. This helps reduce the number of cancer cells and helps treat ovarian cancer.
 
In some cases, Emtreo Injection may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, mild hair loss, and bronze discolouration of the skin. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve over time. Do not be reluctant to talk with your doctor if any of the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Consult the doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant or are planning for pregnancy. Emtreo Injection is not recommended for children. Inform the doctor about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
