Product Introduction

Admatop 2.5mg Injection is an anti-cancer medicine containing Topotecan. It is used to treat ovarian and lung cancers that have recurred after chemotherapy, and for advanced cervical cancer in combination with cisplatin when surgery or radiation is no longer effective. Dosage of Admatop is determined based on body weight and overall health status, and is administered as an injection by a healthcare professional. This medicine is not recommended for children. Patients should avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice during treatment, as these can increase drug absorption and elevate the risk of side effects. Neutropenia, a reduction in white blood cell count that can increase infection risk, is a common side effect of Admatop injection. Management of Admatop-related neutropenia includes regular blood tests, dose adjustments, or supportive medications such as growth factors. Doctors typically manage this condition through regular blood testing and supportive medication. If you experience fever, unusual bleeding, or signs of infection, inform your doctor immediately. Side effects are generally manageable, and many patients respond well to treatment. If you have had a previous allergy to Admatop or its ingredients, ensure you inform your doctor. Admatop pricing varies depending on location and supplier; consult a certified oncology pharmacy for accurate pricing information.
