Medical Description

Axiotem capsule is a specialist medicine used for selected brain tumours, including glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma. It contains temozolomide, which becomes active in the body and damages the genetic material of rapidly dividing tumour cells. The damaged cells cannot copy themselves normally, which can slow tumour growth. Axiotem capsule is swallowed whole by mouth under oncology supervision and may be used with radiation therapy or as follow-up treatment, depending on the tumour. It is prescribed for adults and selected older children when appropriate.
