Oxaliplatin Intravenous and Procaine penicillin

• Generic Name: oxaliplatin
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Eloxatin

Oxaliplatin injection is given along with other medicines to treat advanced cancer of the colon or rectum. It is also used to treat severe colon cancer in patients who have had a surgery.

Oxaliplatin belongs to the group of medicines called antineoplastics. It interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal cells may also be affected by the medicine, other effects may also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may occur after treatment with oxaliplatin has been stopped. Be sure that you have discussed with your doctor the possible side effects of oxaliplatin as well as the benefits it can do.

Oxaliplatin is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.
