Irnocel 100Mg Inj

Irnocel 100Mg Inj belongs to a class of antineoplastic medications or chemotherapy drugs primarily used to manage or treat Colorectal cancer (Cancer that develops in the colon or rectal tissue). Colorectal cancer is a disease in which cells in the colon or rectum grow out of control.

Irnocel 100Mg Inj contains Irinotecan works by blocking an enzyme called topoisomerase I. All cells need this enzyme to divide and grow. Irinotecan blocks this enzyme so the cancer cells can not divide. As a result, Irinotecan inhibits cancer cell division and growth.

Irnocel 100Mg Inj should be administered to patients only in a hospital setting under the supervision of a physician qualified by training and experience to administer cancer chemotherapeutic agents. The most common adverse reactions are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation, anorexia (an eating disorder), Neutropenia (an unusually low number of cells called neutrophils), leukopenia (including lymphocytopenia), anaemia (not having enough healthy red blood cells), asthenia (abnormal weakness), fever, weight loss, alopecia (hair loss). You should talk to your doctor if you persistently experience these side effects.

Avoid using Irnocel 100Mg Inj if you are allergic to it. Irnocel 100Mg Inj can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

Breastfeeding is usually not advised during this treatment since it is unknown whether this medication passes into breast milk. Alcohol should be avoided during treatment with this medicine. Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.

Irnocel 100Mg Inj is an antineoplastic medicine or chemotherapeutic treatment used to control or treat colorectal cancer (colon or rectal cancer). Irnocel 100Mg Inj contains Irinotecan acts by inhibiting an enzyme known as topoisomerase I. This enzyme is required for all cells to divide and flourish. Irinotecan inhibits this enzyme, preventing cancer cells from dividing. As a result, Irinotecan inhibits cancer cell division and growth.

Cancer: Cancer is a genetic change in which our cells divide uncontrollably and spread into surrounding tissues. There are two types of cancer: benign (localized) and metastatic (spread to the whole body). Types of cancer include blood, lung, breast, etc. Cancer growth can be prevented by chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell therapy.

Colorectal cancer: Colorectal cancer is a condition in which cells in the colon or rectum proliferate uncontrollably. It is known as colon cancer. The colon is also known as the large intestine or large bowel. The rectum is the tunnel between the colon and the anus.
