About Kabanat 60mg Injection

Kabanat 60mg Injection belongs to a group of medicines known as microtubule inhibitors. It is used to treat advanced prostate cancer or metastatic prostate cancer that has already been treated with other medications. Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific body part grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The cancerous cells can attack and destroy surrounding healthy tissue, including organs. Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that only occurs in men and affects the prostate gland, a tiny gland under the bladder that produces semen.

Kabanat 60mg Injection contains Cabazitaxel, a microtubule receptor blocker (inhibitor). Cabazitaxel shrinks tumours by attacking rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, so they can no longer grow and divide.

Kabanat 60mg Injection should be administered to patients only in a hospital setting under the supervision of a physician qualified by training and experience to administer cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects, such as being sick (vomiting), neutropenia (lower-than-normal levels of neutrophils), low blood cell count, diarrhoea, vomiting, constipation, asthenia (abnormal weakness), pyrexia (fever), dyspnea (shortness of breath), altered taste, cough, pain in the joint, and alopecia (hair loss). Most of these side effects may gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Cabazitaxel is only for use in men. Men using this Kabanat 60mg Injection must use effective birth control whenever they have sex during your treatment and four months after their final dose. Women should not take this medication, especially if they are or may become pregnant or are breast-feeding. Cabazitaxel injection may result in a substantial or life-threatening decrease in the number of white blood cells (a kind of blood cell needed to fight infection) in your blood. This increases your chances of developing a serious infection. Inform your doctor if you are 65 or older if you have or have ever had a low number of white blood cells associated with a fever if you have had radiation therapy, or if you are unable to eat a nutritious diet. Before and during treatment, your doctor will conduct laboratory tests to determine the quantity of white blood cells in your blood. If you have a low white blood cell count, your doctor may reduce your dose or stop or postpone your therapy. If your white blood cell count drops, your doctor may prescribe a prescription to help prevent life-threatening problems.

Side effects of Kabanat 60mg Injection 1.5 ml
  • Include iron-rich foods like dark leafy vegetables, lean red meat, legumes and fish in your diet.
  • Consume vitamin C-rich foods as they aid iron absorption.
  • Limit tea, cocoa, and coffee as these can slow iron absorption.
  • Exercise regularly; however, do not overdo it.
  • Boost your immunity by including immune rich foods in your diet and always remember to stay hydrated.
  • Get sufficient sleep and manage stress which helps in improving white blood cell count.
  • Consult your doctor for an effective treatment to improve the blood cell count and get regular body check up to monitor changes in the count.
  • Try to prevent the factors that cause a decrease in the white blood cells that may lead to impaired immunity.
  • Talk to your doctor about medicines to manage neutropenia based on the underlying cause.
  • Avoid contact with people who are sick.
  • Wash your hands regularly with soap and water.
  • Avoid unpasteurized dairy products.
  • Managing a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) caused by medication usage requires a multi-step approach. Here are some steps to help manage the condition:
  • Inform your doctor about your low platelet count and medication usage. They will assess the situation and guide the best course of action.
  • Your doctor may recommend adjusting or stopping the medication that is causing a low platelet count. This could involve switching to alternative medication or reducing the dosage.
  • Monitor your platelet count regularly through blood tests to track any changes. This will help the doctor determine the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
  • If an underlying condition, such as infection or inflammation, contributes to the low platelet count, your doctor will treat it.
  • In some cases, alternative treatments like platelet transfusions or medications that stimulate platelet production may be necessary.
  • Avoid risky activities and certain medications; eat a balanced diet with plenty of water to reduce bleeding risk and boost overall health.
  • If you experience severe bleeding or bruising, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
  • Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
  • Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
  • Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
  • Rest well; get enough sleep.
  • Eat a balanced diet and drink enough water.
  • Manage stress with yoga and meditation.
  • Limit alcohol and caffeine.
  • Physical activities like walking or jogging might help boost energy and make you feel less tired.
Overcome Medication-Induced Nausea: A 9-Step Plan
  • Inform your doctor about the nausea and discuss possible alternatives to the medication or adjustments to the dosage.
  • Divide your daily food intake into smaller, more frequent meals to reduce nausea.
  • Opt for bland, easily digestible foods like crackers, toast, plain rice, bananas, and applesauce.
  • Avoid certain foods that can trigger nausea, such as fatty, greasy, spicy, and smelly foods.
  • Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broth, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks.
  • Use ginger (tea, ale, or candies) to help relieve nausea.
  • Get adequate rest and also avoid strenuous activities that can worsen nausea.
  • Talk to your doctor about taking anti-nausea medication if your nausea is severe.
  • Record when your nausea occurs, what triggers it, and what provides relief to help you identify patterns and manage your symptoms more effectively.

Drug Warnings

Before taking the Kabanat 60mg Injection , let your doctor know about all your allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to medicines or food. White blood cells protect the body from infection. This medication may cause a decrease in the amount of white blood cells in your blood (neutropenia). You are more prone to catching an infection if your white blood cell count is low. When the quantity of white blood cells is too low, an infection can be deadly. It is critical to treat any infection as quickly as possible. Make an immediate call to the hospital. Use a condom or effective birth control method if you are having sex with pregnant women or women who can become pregnant. Cabazitaxel injection can produce severe or life-threatening allergic reactions, especially during the first two infusions. Your doctor will give you drugs to prevent an allergic response at least 30 minutes before the Cabazitaxel injection. You should receive your infusion in a medical institution where you may be treated swiftly if you develop an allergic reaction.
