Product Introduction
Carmustine 100mg is an intravenous nitrosourea chemotherapy for selected brain tumours, lymphomas and myeloma regimens. It differs from a carmustine wafer implanted during brain surgery.
How to use
The powder is prepared with its appropriate solvent, further diluted and infused into a vein over at least 2 hours. The infusion site is monitored for irritation. Repeat cycles are separated to allow recovery from delayed marrow suppression.
How it works
Carmustine alkylates DNA and also carbamoylates proteins. Its lipid solubility supports penetration into the central nervous system.
Side effects
Nausea, vomiting, infusion-site burning and delayed low blood counts can occur. Pulmonary fibrosis and kidney injury are important cumulative toxicities.
Important information
Blood counts may reach their lowest level several weeks after treatment, so monitoring continues between cycles. Baseline and follow-up lung assessment matters, particularly with a higher cumulative exposure.
Uses
- Selected brain tumours, lymphomas and multiple-myeloma treatment regimens.
Benefits
Can help control tumour growth in selected brain cancers, lymphomas or multiple myeloma.
Why can the next cycle be several weeks away?
Marrow suppression is delayed and prolonged, so the interval allows blood-cell recovery.
Is the injection the same as a brain implant?
No. Carmustine wafers have a local surgical application and different administration and adverse-effect considerations.
Can lung problems appear later?
Yes. Pulmonary toxicity can be delayed, so a persistent cough or new breathlessness needs assessment even after the course.
What if the infusion site burns?
Tell the nurse immediately because irritation or leakage can damage surrounding tissue.
