Description:

Inflitza 25mg Capsule is a medicine used in the treatment of blood cancer (acute myeloid leukemia). It works by stopping the cancer cells from growing and multiplying. This way it stops the growth and spread of the cancer in the body and helps in disease management.

Inflitza 25mg Capsule is best taken with food. This will reduce the risk of nausea and vomiting. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it. This will depend on what you are being treated for and may change from time to time. You should take it exactly as your doctor has advised. Taking it in the wrong way or taking too much can cause very serious side effects.

The most common side effects of this medicine include nausea, vomiting, headache, musculoskeletal pain, nosebleed, hyperglycemia, and upper respiratory tract infection. This medicine may reduce the number of blood cells (decrease red blood and white blood cells) in your blood, thereby, increasing the susceptibility to infections. Regular blood tests are required to check your blood cells along with heart, liver, and blood uric acid levels. You have to avoid driving or attention seeking activity if you experience dizziness while taking this medicine.

Earlier taking it, tell your doctor if you have any other preexisting medical conditions or taking any medicines to treat infections. Many other medicines can affect, or be affected by, this medicine so let your doctor know all medications you are using. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The use of effective contraception by both males and females during treatment is important to avoid pregnancy.
