Precautions and Warnings

This medicine is used in men and is not used in women. Cabazitaxel may damage sperm and could harm a baby if you father a child during treatment. Use effective contraception during treatment and for a period after your last dose, as advised by your doctor, and discuss fertility preservation with your doctor before starting treatment.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

This medicine is used only in men, so breastfeeding precautions do not apply.

Driving

Driving

This injection can cause fatigue, weakness, or dizziness in some people. Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience these effects.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol during treatment, as it may worsen nausea and place additional strain on the liver. Discuss alcohol use with your doctor.

Other General Warnings

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • You are 65 years of age or older, which may make you more likely to experience certain side effects and require closer monitoring.
  • You have pre-existing liver impairment, as dosage adjustment is required. A lower dose is used for mild or moderate liver impairment, and the medicine is contraindicated in severe liver impairment.
  • You have pre-existing kidney impairment. No dose adjustment is generally needed unless kidney function is very severely reduced, in which case your doctor will monitor you closely.
  • You experience fever, chills, or any signs of infection during treatment, as prompt medical intervention is required.
  • You notice severe, persistent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, signs of dehydration, or blood in your stool.
  • You develop sudden allergic symptoms during or shortly after the infusion, such as rash, wheezing, or dizziness.
  • You have previously received radiation to the pelvic area, as you may be at higher risk of bladder-related side effects.
  • You have any underlying lung disease, as you may be at higher risk of lung-related side effects.

Directions for Use

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic setting. Do not self-inject. Your doctor will administer this medicine as an intravenous infusion over about 1 hour. Before receiving cabazitaxel, you will be given medicines to prevent allergic reactions. The treatment schedule and number of cycles will be determined by your doctor based on your response and tolerance.

Storage and disposal

This injection is stored and handled by healthcare professionals in a hospital pharmacy. It must be stored at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius (in refrigeration). Do not freeze. Store in the original packaging away from light.

Quick Tips

  • Attend all scheduled appointments and blood tests during treatment.
  • Report any signs of infection (fever, chills) immediately.
  • Maintain good nutrition and hydration during treatment.
  • Use gentle hair care products if hair loss occurs.
  • Manage diarrhoea by staying hydrated and following dietary advice.
  • Avoid close contact with people who have infections.

Dosage

Missed a Dose

As this injection is administered in a hospital by your healthcare provider, the chances of missing a dose are minimal. However, if a dose is missed, inform your doctor to reschedule your treatment at the appropriate time.

Overdose

Overdose of this injection would be managed by your healthcare provider in the hospital. Overdose symptoms may include severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, severe drop in blood cell counts, and organ damage. If you have concerns about your treatment dose, discuss them with your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

How does this medicine work?

Cabazitaxel works by interfering with cell division. It disrupts microtubules (structures inside cells that help them divide). By damaging these microtubules, the medicine prevents malignant cells from dividing and growing, causing tumours to shrink.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can interact with this injection. Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. In particular, inform your doctor if you are taking medicines that affect liver function (such as ketoconazole or rifampicin) as they can change how your body processes cabazitaxel. Other chemotherapy medicines or strong pain relievers may require dose adjustment.

Interactions with food items

Food does not significantly affect this injection as it is administered intravenously. However, follow your doctor's dietary advice during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The treatment schedule varies depending on your condition and how well you respond. Your doctor will determine the frequency and number of cycles needed for your specific case.
Report any side effects to your doctor immediately. Many side effects can be managed with additional medicines or lifestyle changes. Never stop treatment without consulting your doctor.
Only switch medicines under your doctor's supervision. Your doctor will monitor your response closely if you switch brands to ensure the medicine continues to work effectively.
