Overview Daxotel 120mg Injection

Oncotel-D 120mg Injection is a chemotherapeutic agent indicated for treating breast, non-small cell lung, prostate, and head and neck malignancies. Administration is strictly via injection by a healthcare professional. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician based on your specific condition and may be adjusted. Adhere precisely to your prescribed regimen; incorrect usage or overdose can lead to severe adverse reactions. Therapeutic benefits may not be immediately apparent, potentially requiring weeks or months; discontinue only under your doctor's guidance. Common side effects include shortness of breath, constipation, swelling, infections, appetite loss, myalgia, nail abnormalities, pain, and fatigue. Supplementary medications may be prescribed to mitigate these effects. Report any unusual bruising, bleeding, sore throat, mouth sores, or fever immediately.
