Medical Description

Farabine injection is used for relapsed or treatment-resistant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children, teenagers and young adults up to 21 years. It contains clofarabine, an antimetabolite medicine that interferes with the production and repair of genetic material needed by abnormal blood cells. By limiting this process, clofarabine slows the multiplication of leukaemia cells. Farabine injection is given into a vein by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or specialist clinic, with close monitoring of blood counts, infection symptoms and organ function.

Uses

  • Relapsed or treatment-resistant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: Leukaemia that returns or does not respond to earlier treatment may be reduced by clofarabine under specialist hospital care.

Dosage

Overdose

An overdose can severely affect blood counts and organ function. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Clofarabine interferes with the production and repair of genetic material needed by abnormal blood cells. This prevents those cells from multiplying and can lead to their destruction. It can also affect normal cells that divide quickly, so treatment requires close monitoring in a hospital setting.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Farabine injection works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, mention immunosuppressive medicines such as adalimumab, infliximab, natalizumab or etanercept because combined treatment may increase infection risk, antiviral medicines such as saquinavir or efavirenz, live vaccines, antipsychotic medicines such as haloperidol, droperidol or clozapine, and medicines that affect the kidneys or liver.

Interactions with food items

No specific food interaction is known.
