LIPODOX 50MG/ML VIAL

Introduction:

Lipodox 50mg Injection is used in the treatment of some kinds of cancer. It is also used in the treatment of breast cancer, where there is an increased cardiac risk. It can be used on its own, or sometimes given together with certain other medicines as part of combination chemotherapy.

Lipodox 50mg Injection can be used in both adults and children. It is given as an injection into the vein with extreme caution by a qualified medical professional. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it.

This will depend on what you are being treated for and may change from time to time. You should take it exactly as your doctor has advised. Taking it in the wrong way or taking too much can cause very serious side effects. It may take several weeks or months for you to see or feel the benefits but do not stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to. It makes contraceptive pills less effective, so it is advised to use reliable contraception during and after 6 months of the treatment.
