Patients, Healthcare Professionals, or Hospitals can buy Irinotecan injections online through Indian Generic Medicines-IGM (a trusted <strong>Irinotecan injection Supplier, Exporter, and Contract Manufacturer<\/strong> in India). Irinotecan is used for the treatment of advanced colorectal (colon and rectum) cancer. It is specifically used for individuals who have not adequately responded to fluorouracil-based chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Irinotecan works by blocking an important enzyme called topoisomerase I, which helps cells copy and repair DNA. When this enzyme is blocked, cancer cells cannot repair themselves properly, leading to DNA damage. This damage causes the cancer cells to die, helping to slow down or stop tumor growth.<br \/>\nDoctors often use Irinotecan along with other chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (folinic acid). These combinations make the treatment more effective, helping patients with metastatic colorectal cancer get better results.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Besides colorectal cancer, Irinotecan is also being studied for treating other cancers like small-cell <a title=\"lung cancer\" href=\"https:\/\/indiangenericmedicines.com\/ar\/lung-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lung cancer<\/a>, gastric (stomach) cancer, and pancreatic cancer. However, its use in these cancers is still under research and is not yet a standard treatment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Irinotecan should always be given by a trained oncologist because it can cause serious side effects. Some of the common side effects include severe diarrhea, low white blood cell count (neutropenia), and stomach-related issues (gastrointestinal toxicity). Doctors often give anti-nausea medicine before the treatment to help prevent vomiting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Patients receiving this treatment need regular blood tests and check-ups to ensure their body is handling the medicine well. This careful monitoring helps doctors adjust the treatment if required, ensuring the best possible outcome for the patient.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>API:<\/strong> Irinotecan<br \/>\n<strong>Packaging:<\/strong> Single-use vial<br \/>\n<strong>Strength:<\/strong> 100 mg\/5mL &amp; 40 mg\/2ml<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5141,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[18],"product_tag":[942,946,941,944,943,945],"class_list":["post-5139","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-oncology","product_tag-buy-irinotecan-injection","product_tag-irinotecan-injection-bulk-supplier","product_tag-irinotecan-injection-cost","product_tag-irinotecan-injection-manufacturers","product_tag-irinotecan-injection-price","product_tag-irinotecan-injection-supplier","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/indiangenericmedicines.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/indiangenericmedicines.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/indiangenericmedicines.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indiangenericmedicines.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/indiangenericmedicines.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indiangenericmedicines.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5139"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indiangenericmedicines.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5139"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indiangenericmedicines.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
