Product Introduction

Adside 100mg Injection is an anticancer medication containing etoposide. It is classified as a cytostatic agent and is indicated for treatment of certain cancers including testicular cancer, small-cell lung cancer, acute myeloid leukaemia, lymphomas (Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), and ovarian cancer in adults. Inform your doctor if you are currently undergoing or have recently received radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Report any infections or low blood protein (albumin) levels to your doctor. Adside 100mg Injection should not be administered if you have received recent vaccination with yellow fever vaccine or any live vaccines. Prior to commencing treatment, it is essential to inform your physician of any history or current presence of kidney disease or liver disorders. Both men and women must use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 6 months following the final dose. Men should avoid fathering a child during treatment and for up to 6 months after completion. Discuss fertility concerns with your doctor before starting therapy. Adside 100mg Injection may cause reduction in blood cell levels and increase the risk of infections. Your doctor may order regular blood tests to monitor kidney and liver function during treatment. Safety in children has not been established.

How it works

Adside 100mg works by inhibiting the activity of topoisomerase II (essential for cell replication) and DNA synthesis, which will prevent cancer cells from growing and multiplying, ultimately leading to cell death.

How to Use

Adside 100mg injection is administered as an intravenous infusion into the vein. If this injection is recommended for you, it will be given by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administrate. Your physician will choose the dosage and administration frequency based on the medical condition because it differs for each person.
