Product Introduction
Cisplatin 50mg/50mL is a platinum chemotherapy used in treatment regimens for cancers such as testicular, ovarian and bladder cancer. It may be combined with other anticancer medicines or radiotherapy according to the tumour being treated.
How to use
The diluted medicine is infused into a vein in a chemotherapy unit. Intravenous fluids are given before and after treatment to protect the kidneys, and anti-sickness medicines are usually provided. The dose and cycle interval depend on body size, the regimen and laboratory results.
How it works
Cisplatin binds to DNA and creates cross-links that prevent DNA copying and repair. This disrupts division of rapidly growing cancer cells and promotes cell death.
Side effects
Nausea, vomiting, taste changes, reduced blood counts and fatigue can occur. Important toxicities include kidney injury, hearing loss, ringing in the ears and peripheral neuropathy. Reduced urine, severe dizziness or a new hearing change needs prompt assessment.
Important information
Kidney function, magnesium, potassium, blood counts and hearing are assessed during treatment. Dehydration and other kidney-toxic or hearing-toxic medicines can increase harm. Fever during a low blood-count period can be a sign of a serious infection.
Uses
- Combination chemotherapy for testicular, ovarian and bladder cancers
- other selected solid-tumour regimens using cisplatin.
Benefits
Cisplatin is a key component of several effective cancer regimens, including potentially curative testicular-cancer treatment. In other settings, it can shrink disease or improve tumour control alongside surgery or radiotherapy.
Why do cisplatin infusions include extra fluids?
Cisplatin can injure kidney tubules. Hydration and adequate urine flow help reduce exposure of the kidneys to the drug; the fluid plan is tailored to heart and kidney function.
Should ringing in my ears wait until the next appointment?
No. Tinnitus or a change in hearing can be an early sign of ototoxicity. Report it promptly because further exposure may worsen the problem.
Why are magnesium and potassium measured?
Cisplatin can make the kidneys lose these electrolytes. Low levels can contribute to cramps, weakness and heart-rhythm problems and may need replacement.
Can sickness start after I have left the infusion unit?
Yes. Cisplatin can cause delayed nausea and vomiting over the following days. The take-home antiemetic schedule covers this delayed phase, not just symptoms during infusion.
