Etopxel 100 Injection 5 ml belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs used to treat various cancer conditions, including testicular tumours or cancer of the testicles, lung cancer (small cell lung cancer; SCLC). Besides this, it can also be used in treating Monoblastic leukaemia (AML M5) and acute myelomonoblastic leukaemia (AML M4). Cancer is a genetic change in which our cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues.
Etopxel 100 Injection 5 ml contains Etoposide, which is a podophyllotoxin derivative. It works by inhibiting an enzyme responsible for cancer cell proliferation and induces cell death (apoptosis). As a result, the growth and spread of cancer cells are stopped or slowed down.

Etopxel 100 Injection 5 ml is a chemotherapeutic medication that contains Etoposide. It is primarily used with other medications to treat testicular cancer that has not improved or worsened after treatment with other medications or radiation therapy. Etoposide injection is also used in conjunction with other drugs to treat a certain kind of lung cancer (small cell lung cancer; SCLC). It can also be used to treat monoblastic leukaemia (AML M5) and acute myelomonoblastic leukaemia (AML M4). Etopxel 100 Injection 5 ml acts by blocking an enzyme that promotes cancer cell proliferation and induces cell death (apoptosis). As a result, the growth and spread of cancer cells are halted or inhibited.
Etopxel 100 Injection 5 ml is not recommended to use if you are allergic to etoposide, podophyllotoxines or podophyllotoxin-derivatives or any other ingredients of this medicine; If your liver is not working properly; If your bone marrow does not produce enough blood cells; If you are breast-feeding; If you have a weak immune system and you are being vaccinated against yellow fever at the same time. So, inform your doctor about your medical history and ongoing therapies. Etoposide can significantly reduce the number of blood cells in your bone marrow. Before and during your therapy, your doctor will prescribe laboratory testing on a regular basis. A decrease in the number of blood cells in your body might produce symptoms and raise your chance of developing a serious infection or bleeding. If you notice any of the following symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
