Oxitan 50mg/10ml

Oxitan 50 mg/10ml is a prescription treatment for the cancer of the large bowel. It is used in combination with other anticancer drugs such as infusional 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin as the combination is considered effective in lowering the chance of colon cancer returning when given to patients with stage III colon cancer after the removal of tumour via surgery. The medicine contains the active substance Oxiplatin, which increases survival in patients with stage II colon cancer. Oxiplatin shrinks tumours and delays the growth of cancer cells in some patients with advanced colorectal cancer. This anticancer drug is available as a solution for infusion and must be dissolved and made into a solution before it can be injected intravenously.
