Toposar (Etoposide) 5ml Online
Toposar (Etoposide) Injection is a chemotherapy drug. It is used to treat testicular cancer, lung cancer, and other cancers. Etoposide Injection is used in combination with other medications to treat cancer of the testicles that has not improved or that has worsened after treatment with other medications or radiation therapy. Etoposide Injection is also used in combination with other medications to treat a certain type of lung cancer (small cell lung cancer; SCLC). Etoposide Injection is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in your body. Etoposide Injection comes as a solution (liquid) or as a powder to be mixed with liquid to be slowly injected intravenously (into a vein) by a doctor or nurse in a medical facility. The length of treatment depends on the types of drugs you are taking, how well your body responds to them, and the type of cancer you have.
Etoposide Injection is also sometimes used to treat Hodgkin’s lymphoma (Hodgkin’s disease), non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (types of cancer that begin in a type of white blood cells that normally fights infection), and certain types of leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells), including acute myeloid leukemia (AML, ANLL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children. It is also sometimes used to treat Wilms tumor (a type of kidney cancer that occurs in children), neuroblastoma (cancer that begins in nerve cells and occurs mainly in children), ovarian cancer (cancer that begins in the female reproductive organs where eggs are formed), another type of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer; NSCLC), and Kaposi’s sarcoma related to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication for your condition.
