General Information on Camptosar Injection
Camptosar Injection is prescribed for treating cancer of the rectum and colon. It is generally given along with other cancer medications as a form of combined chemotherapy.
Irinotecan Hydrochloride, the main active ingredient in Camptosar Injection, belongs to a family of drugs known as topoisomerase inhibitors. It works by inhibiting the development of required elements for cancer cell division. This interference with the growth of cancer cells prevents their spread to other parts of the body.
Camptosar Injection is supplied in the form of a sterile, clear, pale yellow, aqueous solution. It is available as two packages: 2mL vials containing 40 mg Irinotecan hydrochloride, and 5mL vials containing 100 mg Irinotecan hydrochloride. The drug is a prescription medication, so you should consult your doctor before you buy Camptosar Injection vials.
Side effects of Camptosar Injection
Camptosar Injection may cause mild to severe side effects in some people. Loss of appetite, dizziness, temporary hair loss, constipation, cough, or peeling of the skin on the feet/hands are some of the less serious side effects associated with the drug.
People with liver disease, Gilbert’s syndrome, intestinal obstruction/disorder, diabetes, and fructose intolerance should consult their doctor before using Camptosar Injection. A doctor may have to perform special tests and adjust the dosage for people with the above mentioned medical problems.
Camptosar Injection may also cause severe side effects in some people. Some of the severe side effects associated with the drug are easy bruising/bleeding, body aches, bloody/black stools, lightheadedness, sores/white patches on the lips or inside the mouth, flu symptoms, chest pain, increased sweating, increased thirst, or nausea.
You may also experience severe side effects such as watery diarrhea, unusual weakness, vision problems, problems with balance or speech, sudden weakness or numbness, vomiting and dehydration, swelling or pain in one or both legs, watery eyes, runny nose, fever, or stomach cramps. This is not a complete list of severe side effects. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any severe side effects after using Camptosar Injection.
If you are using other drugs, you may experience side effects due to Irinotecan Hydrochloride potentially interacting with them. To reduce the risk of side effects, tell your doctor about the different medications you are taking, which includes prescription medications, over the counter drugs, or herbal supplements.
