Per cosa si usa
Come agisce
Anthracycline; intercalates between DNA base pairs, impairs topoisomerase II function and subsequently inhibits DNA and RNA replication. Doxorubicin is a strong chelator; doxorubicin-iron complex binds to cell membranes and DNA and produces free hydroxyl radicals that cleaves them.
Dose abituale nell'adulto (sintesi del foglio illustrativo)
Kaposi Sarcoma: 20 mg/m² IV q3Weeks
Gravidanza e allattamento
- Gravidanza
- Unsafe Can cause fetal harm: embryotoxic in rats and abortifacient in rabbits at low doses. Avoid in the 1st trimester; human data for doxorubicin later in pregnancy do not establish the risk, and any use needs specialist care. Use effective contraception during and for 6 months after treatment.
- Allattamento
- Unsafe Not known if the liposomal form passes into milk; conventional doxorubicin and its active metabolite reach high, persistent levels. Because of possible serious infant reactions, do not breastfeed during treatment. LactMed: breastfeeding is generally contraindicated with anthracyclines.
Effetti indesiderati segnalati
- Nausea
- Asthenia
- Anemia
- Neutropenia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Stomatitis
