Pralatrexate Intravenous and Zofran (Ondansetron Injection)

• Generic Name: pralatrexate
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Folotyn

Pralatrexate injection is used to treat peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in patients who have already been treated with other medicines that did not work well. Peripheral T-cell lymphoma is a rare type of cancer that affects certain white blood cells and causes enlarged and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin.

Pralatrexate belongs to the group of medicines called antineoplastics (cancer medicines). 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 unwanted effects may also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor.

Pralatrexate is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.
