Medical Description
Eloxa solution for infusion is a specialist treatment used with fluorouracil and leucovorin for certain colorectal tumors, including treatment after surgery and advanced disease. Its active ingredient is oxaliplatin, a platinum-based medicine that damages the genetic material of abnormal cells. This stops those cells from copying themselves and can slow their growth. Eloxa infusion is diluted and given into a vein by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic under specialist supervision. It is not a self-administered treatment.
