Introduction

Adricin Injection is an anti-cancer medication that is given as a drip or infusion vein with extreme caution by a qualified medical professional. It can be used alone or sometimes given together with certain other medicines as part of combination chemotherapy. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it.

Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self-administer.

Adricin Injection works by suppressing the activity of an enzyme (topoisomerase II) involved in DNA multiplication of the breast cancer cells. It also forms harmful chemicals (free radicals) which cause DNA damage. This slows the growth of breast cancer cells and eventually kills them.

Adricin Injection is used alone or in combination with other medicines for the treatment of various types of cancers. It is given through a drip into a vein (intravenous infusion) by a doctor or nurse. It may make you feel tired or sleepy. Do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how it affects you. Use a reliable contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy while you are taking this medicine and for 6 months after stopping treatment. Your doctor may get regular blood tests done to monitor your blood cells, liver, and heart function during treatment with this medicine.
