Frequently asked questions about Mitomycin
Q. What is Mitodus 10mg Injection used for?
Mitodus 10mg Injection is used as part of cancer treatment for certain advanced cancers, including stomach cancer, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. It is also used inside the bladder to help prevent bladder cancer from coming back after surgery.<br>
Q. Is Mitodus 10mg Injection only given through a vein, or can it be used in other ways?
Mitodus 10mg Injection is usually given into a vein (IV) by a cancer specialist. For bladder cancer, it may be placed directly inside the bladder through a catheter. The method depends on your condition and treatment plan.<br>
Q. Who should not receive Mitodus 10mg Injection?
Mitodus 10mg Injection should not be given to people who are allergic to mitomycin or its ingredients, have very low blood counts (like low white cells, or platelets), have active infections, or bleeding disorders, have significant kidney problems, or are breastfeeding. For bladder use, it must not be used if the bladder wall is perforated.<br>
Q. What major warnings should I know before receiving Mitodus 10mg Injection?
Mitodus 10mg Injection can affect bone marrow, leading to low blood counts, infections, or bleeding. It can also affect the lungs, kidneys, and liver, so doctors monitor these closely. It must be given correctly into a vein to avoid serious tissue damage.<br>
Q. Why is monitoring so important during Mitodus 10mg Injection?
Regular tests are required during Mitodus 10mg Injection use because some side effects, especially low blood counts, may appear weeks after the dose, and build up over time. Monitoring helps detect problems early and guides dose adjustments.<br>
Q. Can Mitodus 10mg Injection cause serious organ-related side effects?
Yes. While not common, Mitodus 10mg Injection can cause serious issues such as lung problems (interstitial pneumonia), kidney damage (including a rare but severe condition called hemolytic uremic syndrome), and liver problems (including liver blockage disorders). Your doctor and care team will watch for early signs and treat them promptly.<br>
Q. What should I report immediately while on Mitodus 10mg Injection?
While on Mitodus 10mg Injection treatment, seek urgent medical help if you notice trouble breathing, persistent cough, chest discomfort, unusual bleeding or bruising, fever, or signs of infection, decreased urine output, swelling, severe pain, or skin changes near the injection site. These symptoms may indicate serious reactions needing prompt care.<br>
Q. Why do doctors say Mitodus 10mg Injection must be injected very carefully?
If Mitodus 10mg Injection accidentally leaks outside the vein (extravasation), it can cause severe tissue damage, ulceration, or necrosis. Trained specialists administer it into large veins, and flush the line after use to prevent this risk.<br>
Q. Can Mitodus 10mg Injection increase the risk of other cancers?
Yes. Mitodus 10mg Injection in long-term, or combined treatment with other cancer medicines has been linked to rare cases of leukemia or bone marrow disorders. Though uncommon, this risk is monitored during and after treatment.<br>
Q. Does Mitodus 10mg Injection affect the immune system?
Yes. Mitodus 10mg Injection can weaken immunity by lowering blood counts. This is why infections can become more serious, and live vaccines are not recommended during treatment.<br>
