Oxaliplatin is a drug used to treat colorectal cancer. It is a platinum compound that inhibits tumor growth by interfering with DNA replication in cancer cells. Oxaliplatin is often used with other anti-cancer drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin.
This drug is usually given by intravenous injection, and the doctor will determine the dose based on the patient's weight and physical condition. Some side effects may occur during treatment, including paresthesia, nausea, vomiting, and thrombocytopenia. While receiving treatment, patients will need regular blood tests to monitor their body's response.
If you have any questions or discomfort, tell your doctor right away. Do not adjust the dose or stop using oxaliplatin on your own to avoid affecting the therapeutic effect. While you are being treated with this medication, follow your doctor's recommendations and have regular follow-up tests.
Instructions for use: Oxaliplatin is injected intravenously, and each injection takes about 2 hours. Treatment is usually given every 2 weeks for 6 courses. During the injection process, patients need to keep their bodies relaxed and avoid excessive activity. It is recommended to eat light and easily digestible food on the day of treatment or the day before.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually 85 mg per square meter of body surface area. Doctors may adjust the dose based on patient tolerance and blood test results. The dose for children is based on body weight and is usually 50 mg per square meter of body surface area. For older patients or patients with impaired kidney function, doctors may adjust the dose to avoid adverse effects. During treatment, doctors will closely monitor the patient's physical condition and adjust the dosage as needed.
