Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug used to treat a variety of cancers. It can help reduce tumor size by stopping cancer cells from growing and multiplying. Gemcitabine is commonly used to treat malignancies such as pancreatic, lung, breast, and bladder cancer. This medication is usually given to patients through an intravenous injection.
The use of gemcitabine may cause some side effects, including nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and fatigue. While receiving treatment, patients may need periodic blood tests to monitor the effects of the medication on their body.
While using gemcitabine, follow your doctor's advice and inform your doctor of any drug allergies and other medications you use. If serious side effects or discomfort occur, seek medical attention immediately. Do not change the dosage or frequency of your medication on your own.
HOW TO USE: GEMCITABINE is an injectable medication that is administered by a healthcare professional in a medical facility. It is usually given 1 to 2 times per week, depending on your condition and your doctor's recommendations. Before injection, medical staff will check the clarity and color of the drug to ensure safety. While you are receiving treatment, follow your doctor's instructions and do not stop using the medication on your own.
Dosage Guidelines: The dosage of GEMCITABINE will be based on the patient's body weight and condition. In general, the starting dose for adult patients is 1000 mg per square meter of body surface area once or twice weekly. For pediatric patients, dosage is calculated based on body weight and requires accurate guidance from a physician. During treatment, the doctor may adjust the dose based on the patient's response and tolerance. Please follow the doctor's advice closely and do not adjust the dose on your own. If you have any questions or discomfort, seek help from your healthcare provider immediately.
