Topotecan

Uses

Topotecan is used in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

How it Works

How Topotecan works Topotecan is an anti-cancer medication that functions by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called topoisomerase I, which is involved in the DNA replication of cancer cells. This action slows the growth of cancer cells and ultimately leads to their death.

Expert Advice

  • Topotecan is used to treat ovarian cancer.
  • It is administered via intravenous infusion (drip into a vein).
  • Avoid driving or operating machinery, as Topotecan may cause tiredness, drowsiness, or weakness.
  • Use a reliable contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy while taking this medication.
  • Your doctor may perform regular blood tests to monitor your blood cell levels during treatment.
  • Inform your doctor immediately if you notice any signs of infection, such as fever, sore throat, rash, or severe diarrhea.
