OXA 100mg Injection

About OXA 100mg Injection

Oxa 100mg Injection contains Oxaliplatin, a platinum-based chemotherapy medication used in combination with other anticancer drugs to treat stage III colon cancer following surgical removal of the primary tumor, as well as advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer involving the colon or rectum. Oxaliplatin works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, preventing their growth and spread, and is particularly effective against certain tumors that may be resistant to cisplatin-based therapies. Colorectal cancer develops due to genetic mutations influenced by both hereditary and environmental factors, leading to uncontrolled cell growth in the large intestine or rectum. Common side effects of Oxa 100mg Injection may include low blood cell counts, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, heartburn, throat discomfort, blood clots, blood in the urine, high blood pressure, insomnia, depression, and low calcium levels. Patients should contact their healthcare provider if these symptoms persist or become severe. Before starting treatment, it is important to inform your doctor about any allergies to Oxaliplatin, kidney disease, liver disorders, heart conditions, or any medications and vaccinations you are currently receiving. Oxa 100mg Injection is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks to the baby. Regular blood tests and medical monitoring during treatment help ensure the safe and effective use of this medication while maximizing treatment outcomes.
