Rubilon 50 mg Injection 1's

Rubilon 50 mg Injection 1's is an anti-cancer medicine that is used in conjunction with other drugs to treat breast cancer in people who have had tumor removal surgery. Rubilon 50 mg Injection 1's is used as adjuvant chemotherapy in women with axillary lymph nodes with involvement resection of breast cancer (abnormal growth in the cells of the breast).

Rubilon 50 mg Injection 1's contains Epirubicin, which belongs to the class of anthracycline topoisomerase inhibitors. It inhibits the topoisomerase II enzyme by intercalating the DNA base pairs. This causes double helix DNA to be uncoiled, thereby destroying the DNA and RNA synthesis.

Rubilon 50 mg Injection 1's may cause certain side effects such as nausea, headache, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, vomiting, dizziness, mouth sores, tiredness, back pain, diarrhoea, and pain at the site of injection. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor. A trained healthcare doctor will administer Rubilon 50 mg Injection 1's. So, do not self-administer. Your doctor will decide the dose of the medicine based on your health condition.

Inform your doctor if you have any cardiovascular conditions, liver/kidney disease, or taking any medicines such as cardiotoxic drugs (eg, Thalidomide, doxorubicin, Abiraterone, tamoxifen, letrozole), and cimetidine, as it can cause serious adverse effects.
