Kryxana 200mg Tablet
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Kryxana 200mg Tablet is an anti-cancer medicine used in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. It helps to slow down the growth of cancer cells and eventually kills them. This way it treats the symptoms of breast cancer such as breast lumps, bloody discharge from nipples, or changes in the shape of the breast.
Kryxana 200mg Tablet may be taken with or without food and usually taken in combination with another medicine. The duration of treatment varies on the basis of your need and response to treatment. Take it in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. You may be asked for regular blood tests while taking this medication.
Common side effects of this medicine include decreased white blood cell count, nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, hair loss, vomiting, constipation, headache, and back pain. Neutropenia is a well-recognized adverse effect, in which the number of your white blood cells get reduced and your immune system gets weakened. As a result, you may be at greater risk of getting an infection. However, this side effect disappears rapidly once you stop taking the medicine.
Before using this medicine, inform your doctor about any preexisting medical conditions and all medications you are currently taking. It is important to perform a complete blood count (CBC) before starting therapy, as the medicine may cause increases in serum transaminase and bilirubin levels. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before use. This medicine can cause fetal harm, so females of reproductive potential should be advised of the potential risk to a fetus and must use effective contraception during treatment.
