Description

injection is a medicine used to treat different types of cancer, including cancers of the skin, head, neck, oesophagus, voice box, cervix, penis, testicles, lymph nodes (like Hodgkin’s disease), and a rare skin cancer called mycosis fungoides. It’s usually given in combination with surgery or radiation to improve results and help manage symptoms.

This medicine works by damaging the DNA in cancer cells, stopping them from growing and spreading. It helps slow the disease down and makes the cancer more responsive to other treatments. It is given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic, and you should not try to use it on your own.

Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weight loss, or loss of appetite. In rare cases, it can cause lung problems, especially in people who smoke, have had radiation therapy, or are over 70 years old. If you experience symptoms such as coughing, chest pain, or trouble breathing, please notify your doctor immediately.

injection can interact with other medicines, such as cisplatin, G-CSF, and certain cancer treatments, which may increase the risk of lung problems. It may also affect the way other medications, such as digoxin or phenytoin, work. Always inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking.

This medicine should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless clearly advised by your doctor. It is important to attend all scheduled appointments, as you will be closely monitored. If you miss a dose or experience any unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

interactions

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Using general anaesthesia or oxygen after bleomycin treatment may increase the risk of lung damage.
  • Radiation therapy, especially to the chest, can make bleomycin more toxic and may require dose adjustment.
  • Taking bleomycin with other cancer medicines may increase the risk of lung-related side effects, even at lower doses.
  • Using bleomycin as part of combination cancer treatment may lead to lung problems; close monitoring is needed.
  • Taking bleomycin with G-CSF (a medicine that boosts white blood cells) might raise the risk of lung toxicity.
  • Cisplatin can reduce kidney function, leading to a slower removal of bleomycin from the body and an increased risk of side effects.
  • Bleomycin may reduce the effectiveness of digoxin by decreasing its absorption in the stomach.
  • Bleomycin may decrease the level of phenytoin in the blood, potentially reducing its effectiveness.
