Overview

Oxitan Injection contains Oxaliplatin, a chemotherapy drug that belongs to the class of platinum-based compounds. It is widely used in the treatment of colorectal cancer, particularly for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer or those who have not responded to previous treatments. Oxaliplatin works by interfering with the cancer cell's ability to replicate its DNA, preventing the cells from dividing and causing their death. This treatment is typically administered as part of a combination chemotherapy regimen.

Key Benefits
  • Effective for colorectal cancer: Used to treat advanced and metastatic colorectal cancer
  • Part of combination therapy: Typically administered in combination with other chemotherapy agents, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin
  • Improves survival: Proven to improve overall survival rates in patients with advanced colorectal cancer
  • Well-tolerated in many patients: Many patients respond well to the drug, improving disease management
  • Adjuvant treatment: Can be used as part of adjuvant chemotherapy following surgical resection of tumors
How to Use
  • Intravenous administration: Oxitan is administered through an IV infusion. It should only be given by a healthcare professional experienced in chemotherapy administration.
