About Temopro 100mg Capsule

Temopro 100mg Capsule belongs to a class of medicines called 'anti-cancer/ antitumor agent', used to treat specific forms of brain tumours such as glioblastoma multiforme (a type of tumour that grows and spreads rapidly) in adults and malignant glioma, including glioblastoma multiforme or anaplastic astrocytoma (a rare malignant brain tumour) in patients older than 3years. A brain tumour is an uncontrolled and unregulated proliferation of cells in the brain. 

Temopro 100mg Capsule contains Temozolomide which works by inhibiting the production of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid-genetic material of the cell), thereby affecting cell growth and division. Thus, Temopro 100mg Capsule prevents tumours from growing.

Take Temopro 100mg Capsule as prescribed. In some cases, Temopro 100mg Capsule may cause loss of appetite, anxiety, confusion, headache, vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, muscle weakness, muscle aches, and fever. Most of these side effects of Temopro 100mg Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the contents. Temopro 100mg Capsule is not recommended for patients with severe bone marrow depression or significant bleeding. Avoid taking Temopro 100mg Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Both women and men using Temopro 100mg Capsule should use birth control to avoid pregnancy and fathering a child.
