Product Introduction
Vinblastine 10mg/10mL (1mg/mL) is a vinca-alkaloid chemotherapy used in Hodgkin lymphoma, selected non-Hodgkin lymphomas, testicular cancer and other susceptible tumours. It is administered only through an intravenous route.
How to use
The prepared medicine is given through a secure intravenous line using the chemotherapy service’s safety procedure. It must never be administered into the spinal canal. Blood-count recovery guides repeat treatment.
How it works
Vinblastine binds tubulin and prevents normal microtubule formation, stopping dividing cells in mitosis.
Side effects
Low white-cell counts, constipation, hair loss and jaw or muscle pain can occur. Severe tissue injury after leakage and serious infection are important risks.
Important information
Intrathecal administration is fatal. Liver impairment and medicines that inhibit CYP3A can increase exposure. Persistent constipation or abdominal distension needs assessment.
Uses
- Selected lymphoma, testicular-cancer and other vinblastine-sensitive chemotherapy regimens.
Benefits
Contributes to tumour control within established combination chemotherapy programmes.
Is vinblastine the same medicine as vincristine?
No. They are different vinca alkaloids with different doses and toxicity profiles.
Why is the route warning so prominent?
Giving a vinca alkaloid into spinal fluid can cause fatal neurological injury; this product is intravenous only.
Can constipation become more than a minor nuisance?
Yes. Severe slowing of bowel movement can progress to ileus, especially with other constipating medicines.
What should I do if the infusion site stings or swells?
Tell the nurse immediately so possible leakage can be managed before further tissue exposure.
