ETOPOSIDE contains Etoposide, which is primarily used in the treatment of various types of cancers. It works by inhibiting an enzyme responsible for cancer cell proliferation and induces cell death (apoptosis). As a result, the growth and spread of cancer cells are stopped or slowed down.
Take ETOPOSIDE with a glass of water on an empty stomach or as directed by your doctor. You are advised to take ETOPOSIDE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience temporary hair loss, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, irregular heartbeat, skin problems such as itching or rash. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
