Amifostine For Injection

Amifostine for Injection is a cytoprotective medicine used to lessen the adverse effects of some chemotherapy medications and radiation therapy on healthy tissues during cancer treatment. It functions by scavenging and neutralising free radicals, which can harm healthy cells while treating cancer. Amifostine reduces adverse symptoms such nausea, vomiting, and radiation-induced oral mucositis by defending healthy cells. Patients undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer and those getting cisplatin chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer frequently use it. Amifostine is given intravenously prior to chemotherapy or radiation, and its use should be carefully examined based on the characteristics of each patient and their treatment plans.
