Bortezomib Intravenous and Ticlid

• Generic Name: bortezomib
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Velcade

Bortezomib injection is used to treat multiple myeloma (blood plasma cell cancer) in patients with or without a prior history of treatment, and mantle cell lymphoma.

Bortezomib is an antineoplastic agent (cancer medicine). It interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed by the body. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by bortezomib, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects, such as a skin rash, may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may not occur until months or years after the medicine is used.

Bortezomib is to be given only by or under the supervision of your doctor.

• Generic Name: ticlopidine
• Dosage Forms: Tablets
• Other Brand Names: Ticlid

Ticlid helps to prevent platelets in your blood from sticking together and forming a blood clot. An unwanted blood clot can occur with certain heart or blood vessel conditions.

Ticlid is used to prevent blood clots after a recent heart attack or stroke, and in people who have had a stent placed in the arteries that supply blood to the heart.

Ticlid may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
