Torrence 10mg Injection

Torrence 10mg Injection is an anti-cancer medicine that is used in conjunction with other drugs to treat breast cancer in people who have had tumor removal surgery. Torrence 10mg Injection is used as adjuvant chemotherapy in women with axillary lymph nodes with involvement resection of breast cancer (abnormal growth in the cells of the breast).

Torrence 10mg Injection contains Epirubicin, 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, thereby destroying the DNA and RNA synthesis.

Torrence 10mg Injection may cause certain side effects such as nausea, headache, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, vomiting, dizziness, mouth sores, tiredness, back pain, diarrhoea, 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. A trained healthcare doctor will administer Torrence 10mg Injection. So, do not self-administer. Your doctor will decide the dose of the medicine based on your health condition.

Torrence 10mg Injection should be avoided if you are allergic to it. It is contraindicated in patients having a recent history of myocardial infarction (MI) or heart attack, patients with baseline neutrophil count < 1500 cells/mm3, severe arrhythmias, previous treatment with anthracyclines, and severe hepatic dysfunction. Hence avoid using this medicine under such conditions. Inform your doctor if you have any cardiovascular conditions, liver/kidney disease, or taking any medicines such as cardiotoxic drugs (eg, Thalidomide, doxorubicin, Abiraterone, tamoxifen, letrozole), and cimetidine, as it can cause serious adverse effects. Torrence 10mg Injection is known to cause embryo-fetal toxicity. Hence it is contraindicated in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Torrence 10mg Injection is not recommended for children as it is known to cause anthracycline-induced acute manifestations of cardiotoxicity and chronic CHF.

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.
