Medical Description

Flu-Stim injection is a prescription medicine used under specialist care to treat chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, a condition in which abnormal lymphocytes build up in the blood and bone marrow. It contains fludarabine, which interferes with the genetic material abnormal cells need to grow and multiply. This can slow the disease and destroy abnormal cells, while close monitoring is needed because normal blood-forming cells can also be affected. The injection is given into a vein by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic, with blood tests and infection monitoring.

Uses

  • Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: Fludarabine helps slow the growth of abnormal lymphocytes and is given under specialist supervision with regular blood-count monitoring.

Contraindications

If you are allergic to any ingredient of this medicine, do not use it. Do not receive Flu-Stim injection if you have severe kidney impairment, very low blood cell counts or a serious infection unless your specialist decides it is appropriate. Tell your doctor about previous treatment that affected the bone marrow.

Side effects

  • Infection: Reduced white blood cells can weaken protection against infection and may cause fever, sore throat, cough, chills or pneumonia. Seek urgent medical attention for these symptoms.
  • Low blood counts: Fludarabine can reduce red cells, white cells and platelets, causing weakness, tiredness, anaemia, neutropenia, bruising or bleeding. Contact your treatment team promptly.
  • Nausea: Treatment can upset the stomach and make food or fluids difficult to keep down. Report persistent nausea so supportive treatment can be considered.
  • Vomiting: The medicine may trigger vomiting, which can quickly lead to dehydration during treatment. Seek prompt care if you cannot keep fluids down.
  • Diarrhoea: Loose stools may cause dehydration or signal infection during treatment. Contact your doctor promptly if diarrhoea is severe or accompanied by fever.

Pregnancy

Do not use Flu-Stim injection during pregnancy unless your specialist considers it essential. Use reliable contraception and tell your doctor immediately if pregnancy is possible.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Do not breastfeed during treatment with Flu-Stim injection unless your specialist confirms it is safe.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol if it worsens nausea, dizziness or weakness, and ask your specialist about alcohol during treatment.

Driving

Other General Warnings

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • You experience a fever, chills, or any signs of an infection, as prompt medical evaluation is critical due to suppressed immunity.
  • You notice unusual pale skin, extreme fatigue, or dark urine, which can be signs of autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
  • You develop neurological changes, such as confusion, agitation, weakness, or vision loss.
  • You require a blood transfusion, as any blood products given during or after fludarabine therapy must be irradiated to prevent transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease.
  • If you need a blood transfusion: Tell your doctor that you are receiving fludarabine, as irradiated blood products may be required during and after treatment to reduce the risk of a serious transfusion-related complication.
  • If you have kidney problems: Tell your doctor, as kidney function affects how fludarabine is removed from the body, and your treatment may need to be adjusted.

Directions for Use

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic. Do not self-inject. Your specialist will decide the treatment plan, and you must attend blood tests and appointments as advised.

Storage and disposal

Flu-Stim injection must be stored and handled by the hospital or clinic according to its cold-storage requirements. Do not store or dispose of it at home.

Quick Tips

  • Attend every blood test arranged by your haematology specialist.
  • Report fever, sore throat, cough, rash, chills or severe diarrhoea promptly.
  • Avoid close contact with people who have contagious infections when your blood counts are low.
  • Use reliable contraception during treatment and ask when it is safe to plan pregnancy.
  • Do not receive vaccines without asking your treatment team.

Dosage

Overdose

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?

The fludarabine component interferes with the genetic material that abnormal lymphocytes need to copy themselves and grow. This limits multiplication and can cause abnormal cells to die. It can also affect normal blood-forming cells, so blood counts and infection symptoms must be monitored closely.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Flu-Stim injection works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, tell your doctor about treatments that lower blood counts, medicines affecting the immune system, pentostatin, cytarabine, blood transfusions and live vaccines. Combined treatment may increase infection, lung or blood-related risks, and live vaccines may cause infection.

Interactions with food items

No specific food interaction is known. Tell your treatment team about supplements and herbal products before treatment.
