Doxorubicin Hydrochloride for Injection

Cancerous tumors are characterized by cell division, which is no longer controlled as it is in normal tissue. “Normal” cells stop dividing when they come into contact with like cells, a mechanism known as contact inhibition.

WARNING

NCARDIOMYOPATHY, SECONDARY MALIGNANCIES, EXTRAVASATION AND TISSUE NECROSIS, and SEVERE MYELOSUPPRESSION

Cardiomyopathy: Myocardial damage, including acute left ventricular failure can occur with doxorubicin HCl. The risk of cardiomyopathy is proportional to the cumulative exposure with incidence rates from 1% - 20% for cumulative doses ranging from 300 mg/m to 500 mg/m when doxorubicin HCl is administered every 3 weeks. The risk of cardiomyopathy is further increased with concomitant cardiotoxic therapy. Assess LVEF before and regularly during and after treatment with doxorubicin HCl [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Secondary Malignancies: Secondary acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) occur at a higher incidence in patients treated with anthracyclines, including doxorubicin HCl [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Extravasation and Tissue Necrosis: Extravasation of doxorubicin HCl can result in severe local tissue injury and necrosis requiring wide excision of the affected area and skin grafting. Immediately terminate the drug and apply ice to the affected area [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Severe myelosuppression resulting in serious infection, septic shock, requirement for transfusions, hospitalization, and death may occur [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Doxorubicin Hydrochloride for Injection

It can also be used in the management of non-metastatic carcinoma of the bladder, where it is administered intravesically.

Action

Doxorubicin is from the family of chemotherapy drugs known as anthracyclines. Anthracyclines act directly on DNA, blocking its production and inhibiting the enzyme responsible for DNA repair. Cells do not have to be actively dividing to be affected by Doxorubicin, as is the case with some chemotherapy drugs. Doxorubicin also suppresses the immune system.

Doxorubicin Hydrochloride for Injection USP is used to produce regression in a number of neoplastic conditions such as:
Acute leukaemia.
Wilms tumour.
Neuroblastoma.
Soft tissue sarcomas.
Breast carcinoma.
Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
Bronchogenic carcinoma.
Thyroid carcinoma.
Hepatoma.
Ovarian carcinoma.
