Z Texel 60Mg Combipack Vial Of 1.5Ml Solution For Infusion

• Prostate cancer: Cabazitaxel is used under oncology supervision for advanced prostate cancer that has progressed after earlier treatment, helping slow tumour growth.
• Urinary difficulty from prostate cancer: By reducing tumour growth, treatment may ease difficulty passing urine in some people with advanced prostate disease.

• Low red blood cell count: Cabazitaxel can reduce red blood cells, causing tiredness, weakness or breathlessness. Blood tests help the oncology team monitor this change.
• Diarrhoea: The treatment can irritate the bowel and cause loose stools. Contact the oncology team urgently if it is severe, persistent or causes dizziness.
• Nausea: The infusion may upset the stomach and cause a queasy feeling. Use the anti-sickness treatment prescribed and seek help if you cannot keep fluids down.
• Vomiting: Stomach irritation can lead to vomiting after treatment. Tell the oncology team promptly if you cannot keep fluids or medicines down.
• Blood in urine: Treatment may be associated with blood-stained urine or urinary irritation. Report it promptly, especially if urination becomes painful or difficult.

Other General Warnings

• 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.

• Keep every blood-test and infusion appointment arranged by your oncology team.
• Report fever, chills, sore throat, cough or feeling unusually unwell promptly because treatment can lower infection-fighting cells.
• Tell the infusion nurse immediately about rash, wheezing, dizziness or swelling.
• Drink fluids as advised, especially if diarrhoea or vomiting occurs.
• Do not start vitamins, herbal products or other medicines without checking with your oncology team.
