Overview Cistin 50mg Injection

Cystine-based 50mg injections are a prescription medication employed in the management of ovarian, cervical, and testicular cancers. Its mechanism involves inhibiting or retarding cancerous cell proliferation. Administration is intravenous, solely by a qualified healthcare provider. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician, varying based on your condition and potentially adjusted over time. Adhere strictly to your physician's instructions; improper usage or overdose can lead to severe adverse reactions. Therapeutic effects might not be apparent for weeks or months; discontinue use only under medical guidance. Common side effects include injection site inflammation (pain, swelling, redness), nausea, and vomiting. Serious side effects, such as hearing impairment or damage, necessitate pre- and ongoing hearing assessments. A reduction in blood cell counts (red and white blood cells) increasing infection risk is possible, mandating regular blood tests to monitor blood cell levels, along with heart, liver, and kidney function. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any history of kidney disease to your physician due to the medication's renal impact. Inform your healthcare team of all concurrent medications, as interactions are possible. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation. Due to potential male infertility, sperm banking should be considered prior to treatment initiation.
