General Information



Product introduction
Cistero 50mg Injection is given as an injection into veins by a qualified medical professional. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it. The dosage will depend on what you are being treated for and may change from time to time. You should take it exactly as your doctor has advised.
Nausea and vomiting are some common side effects of this medicine. Hearing problems or ear damage can also occur during treatment; hence, your doctor may advise hearing tests before and during treatment. It may reduce the number of blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets), increasing the risk of infections and bleeding. Cisplatin can also cause serious kidney damage. Your doctor may advise regular blood tests to check blood counts, kidney function, and mineral levels.
Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have or have had kidney disease, as it can cause serious kidney damage. Many other medicines can affect, or be affected by, this medicine, so tell your doctor about all medicines you are using. This medicine can harm an unborn baby and should not be used during breastfeeding. It may affect fertility in men and women; discuss fertility preservation with your doctor before treatment.
