Introduction to Preciplatin 50mg Injection

Preciplatin 50mg Injection is a medicine to fight against cancer cells. It specifically targets and binds to a key area (N7) in the DNA of cancer cells, causing significant damage. This damage impedes the cells' ability to divide, leading to apoptosis, where the damaged cells self-destruct. 

Cisplatin is a strategic tool in cancer treatment, aiming to halt the proliferation of cancer cells. It is administered by healthcare professionals, like doctors or nurses. It's important to avoid self-administration.

Do not take this medication on your own; always wait for and follow the guidance of your healthcare provider.

Regular kidney function tests are crucial for those undergoing treatment, especially for patients with existing kidney conditions.

Side effects include ear disorders, vomiting, nausea, a decrease in blood cells (red cells, white cells, and platelets), renal impairment, peripheral neuropathy (tingling and numbness in the feet and hands), kidney damage, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears.

How Preciplatin 50mg Injection Works

They do this in three ways: 1) by sticking alkyl groups onto the DNA, causing the DNA to break when repair attempts are made, stopping its normal activities, 2) by creating links between atoms in the DNA, preventing it from doing its usual tasks, and 3) by causing mistakes in the pairing of building blocks, leading to mutations. Essentially, these agents throw a wrench into the works of cancer cell DNA, disrupting their activities and contributing to their destruction.

Adequate hydration and diuresis are often used to minimize this risk Individuals undergoing cisplatin treatment should have regular monitoring of kidney function through blood tests. Patients with preexisting kidney conditions may be more vulnerable to cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
