About Mesbro Solution 3 ml

Mesbro Solution 3 ml belongs to a class of medication known as 'cytoprotectant' primarily used to prevent Hemorrhagic cystitis (a condition that causes bleeding in the urine due to the effect of anticancer agents (Ifosfamide). Our body breaks down the anticancer agent (Ifosfamide) to form a chemical (acrolein) that can harm and irritate the bladder. Mesbro Solution 3 ml reduces the risk of inflammation and bleeding in the bladder due to other anti-cancer medications. 

Mesbro Solution 3 ml contains 'Mesna', a chemo-protectant medicine. It works by altering the breakdown of anti-cancer agents (Ifosfamide) found in urine, making it less toxic. In addition, it binds to other urotoxic metabolites and inhibits their effects on the bladder.

Mesbro Solution 3 ml should be used as advised by your physician. Avoid using more than the recommended dose. The dose of medicine will be advised by your doctor based on your health condition. In some cases, this medicine may cause certain side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), lethargy, rash, diarrhea, light-headedness, abdominal pain, flu-like symptoms and fever. Most of these side effects of Mesbro Solution 3 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Mesbro Solution 3 ml is not recommended if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Women of childbearing age should use an effective birth control method to prevent getting pregnant. While utilising Mesbro Solution 3 ml to track your CBC, your doctor could advise routine urine and blood tests (blood cell count). Because of various underlying clinical disorders, including thrombocytopenia, Mesbro Solution 3 ml is contraindicated for usage in hematuria. While using Mesbro Solution 3 ml, it is advisable to consume at least 1-2 litres of liquids every day. Due to significant adverse effects, this medication should not be used in pregnant or nursing women; thus, consult your doctor before beginning treatment with Mesbro Solution 3 ml.

Uses of Mesbro Solution 3 ml

Medicinal Benefits

Mesbro Solution 3 ml is a member of the 'chemoprotectant' class of drugs, which are principally used to stop urine bleeding caused by the anticancer drug ifosfamide (ifosfamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis). Additionally, it lessens the chance that anti-cancer medications would induce bladder irritation and bleeding. It includes Mesna, which detoxifies the urotoxic ifosfamide (anti-cancer medication) metabolites by chemically interacting with them. Additionally, it binds to other urotoxic metabolites and prevents their bladder-damaging effects.
