Medical Description
Mitotax infusion contains paclitaxel, a natural compound derived from plant sources used as a cytotoxic anticancer medicine. It works inside rapidly dividing cells to stop cell division and prevent cancer cells from growing and spreading.
In the body, it targets and stabilises the internal structural framework of cancer cells, stopping them from dividing and leading to their death. This helps reduce tumor size and manage cancer spread.
Common side effects of Mitotax infusion include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, hair loss, tiredness, muscle or joint pain, rash, itching, and numbness or tingling in the hands and feet.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience signs of an allergic reaction (such as a skin rash, itching, or swelling of the face, lips, or throat), severe chest pain, trouble breathing, severe fever or chills, persistent dizziness, or severe numbness and weakness.
Mitotax infusion is administered by healthcare professionals via intravenous (IV) injection, as specifically prescribed by your doctor.
