MESNA INJECTION

Question 1

How does MESNA INJECTION work?

Accepted Answer

Our body breaks down anticancer agents like ifosfamide or cyclophosphamide to form a chemical known as acrolein, which can harm and irritate the bladder. MESNA INJECTION works by making this natural chemical less harmful or toxic. However, MESNA INJECTION does not change ifosfamide's anti-cancer effects.

Question 2

Can MESNA INJECTION be taken along with anti-coagulant or blood thinner?

Accepted Answer

No, MESNA INJECTION should not be taken with an anti-coagulant like warfarin, heparin or coumarin as it might increase the risk of bleeding and lead to serious complications.

Question 3

What is an autoimmune disorder?

Accepted Answer

An autoimmune disorder is a condition in which the immune system attacks healthy parts of the body and causes pain, swelling, and damage. Some autoimmune disorders are rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus or nephritis.

Question 4

Can MESNA INJECTION change the color of urine?

Accepted Answer

Please inform your doctor if you observe any change in the urine colour (like if you have red/pink-coloured urine).

Question 5

In addition to bleeding what are the other complications which can occur in hemorrhagic cystitis?

Accepted Answer

In addition to bladder bleeding in hemorrhagic cystitis, an individual might also experience bladder wall scarring, decreased bladder size (atrophy), severe systemic infection (urosepsis), and urinary obstruction.
