About UROMITEXAN 200MG INJECTION 2ML

UROMITEXAN 200MG INJECTION 2ML 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 bodies degrade the anticancer drug (ifosfamide) to generate a compound (acrolein) that can injure and irritate the bladder. UROMITEXAN 200MG INJECTION 2ML decreases the risk of bladder irritation and bleeding caused by other anti-cancer drugs.

UROMITEXAN 200MG INJECTION 2ML contains 'Mesna', a chemo-protectant medicine that alters the breakdown of anti-cancer agents (Ifosfamide) found in the urine, making it less toxic. In addition, it binds to other urotoxic metabolites and inhibits their effects on the bladder.

UROMITEXAN 200MG INJECTION 2ML will be administered to your vein by a trained healthcare professional; hence, do not self-administer. 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, fever, and injection site reactions. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

FAQs

Our body breaks down anticancer agents like ifosfamide or cyclophosphamide to form a chemical known as acrolein, which can harm and irritate the bladder. UROMITEXAN 200MG INJECTION 2ML works by making this natural chemical less harmful or toxic. However, UROMITEXAN 200MG INJECTION 2ML does not change ifosfamide's anti-cancer effects.

No, UROMITEXAN 200MG INJECTION 2ML 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.

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.

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

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.
